those temperatures soaring and tempers flaring at the u.s. open. the rising young star losing her cool and her racket last night, the epic meltdown everyone is talking about and what she's saying about it this morning. good morning, america. my goodness, that was really something. coco vandeweghe last night. >> right, george. >> everybody's had a day like that at the office. right? >> i guess. it was pretty hot out there. >> not only did we see tempers flaring but the temperatures really affecting the players. look at that. cramping up. you can see he's in agony and the heat wave in the east, well, it's to blame right now. it's the longest one of the summer and in the pacific we've got tropical cyclones, a new one forming overnight, four in all. and ginger starting us off with a lot to talk about. >> yes, amy, we are tracking that active pacific ocean.

newly formed tropical storm kevin surging moisture into the southwest and i think we'll end up seeing extra monsoon storms, certainly light anything and thunder. mean while east of the rockies it's all about the heat. the peak of the eat after we've done four, five days well above average. looking at numbers. highs, 92, d.c., 90, philly and we'll have cooler air heading in after the weekend. we turn to the race for president. your voice, your vote and that escalating feud between donald trump and jeb bush. trump hit bush again yesterday, this time for speaking spanish on the campaign trail and bush is standing by live to respond. first the latest from jon karl and, jon, another big headline breaking overnight on that hillary clinton e-mail controversy. >> reporter: george, the staffer, the clinton staffer who set up the private e-mail server at hillary clinton's home in chappaqua, new york, is taking the fifth. he was subpoenaed to testify before the house benghazi committee, the clinton campaign says they encouraged him to

testify but he has decided to take the fifth, not to testify. the campaign says he simply didn't want to be drawn into a political spectacle. you have two other top clinton aides who will be testifying and the other big story is that escalating and increasingly personal war of words between jeb bush and donald trump. after jeb bush's bilingual blitz on donald trump -- >> i mean, this is not a guy who is a conservative. >> reporter: -- the donald is now slamming bush for speaking spanish, telling the conservative website breitbart.com "he's a nice man, but he should really set the example by speaking english while in the united states." [ speaking spanish ] >> reporter: on the campaign trail bush often breaks into spanish, the native language of his wife columba and about 37 million other americans. but trump's rhetoric against illegal immigration has helped rocket him to the top of the

polls, knocking bush from his once front-runner status. trump is crushing bush both nationally and in iowa, the state that votes first. bush is now fighting back with a video hitting trump on his past positions. >> in many cases i probably identify more as a democrat. >> reporter: trump told george he's not worried. >> he's doing very poorly in the polls. he's a very low-energy kind of guy and he had to do something. so they are spending a lot of money on ads. >> reporter: jeb bush's campaign manager danny diaz hit back at trump hard on twitter tweeting "donald trump against spanish? says reagan not a conservative? looks like one-man mission to kill the gop" and that is the view from bush headquarters. >> let's hear from the man himself right now. thank you, jon. jeb bush joins us from manchester, new hampshire. governor bush, thanks for joining us. we showed that tweet from your campaign manager. is that what you think, donald trump is a one-man mission to kill the gop? >> i think -- i think donald

trump is trying to insult his way to the presidency and it's not going to work. people want an uplifting hopeful message. people come to this country to pursue their dreams. sometimes they start without speaking english but they learn english and they add vitality to our country and the fact that he would say you only can speak english is kind of ridiculous. if you think about it. are we going to close all the foreign language classes? why would he have a contract with univision for his beauty pageant. this is a diverse country and should celebrate it and embrace a set of shared values and mr. trump doesn't believe in those values. he wants to tear us down. he doesn't believe in tolerance. he doesn't believe in the things that have created the greatness of this country. >> you know, this is also personal for you, of course, your wife columba comes from mexico. what was your first thought when you heard him criticize you for speaking spanish. >> i laughed. i mean, this is a joke. i was in a press gaggle where people asked me a question in spanish and i answered it in spanish.

i was in a classroom two days ago at la progressiva high school where these young beautiful kids all speak english but also speak spanish and one asked a question in spanish and i answered it. that's the reality of america, that's the goodness of america. that's the kind of america we want. so part of it is you laugh because it's so bizarre but it's hurtful for a lot of people and mr. trump know there is and appealing to their angst and fears rather than higher hopes. >> he called you low energy, a stiff, a joke on immigration, the last thing we need is another bush. why do you think he's out to get you? >> i think he's out to get everybody. he doesn't have a set of plans. if he had to actually do the traditional thing which is here's my policy as it relates to immigration, his policy is not serious. it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. it's probably unconstitutional. it violates civil liberties. if he had to actually debate the points on taxes and regulation people would be surprised that he is a liberal in many of these views, the express views he has

on taxes, on health care, our views that are more closely similar to those of hillary clinton. >> you know, the chairman of the rnc is now circulating a loyalty pledge among all the candidates. mr. trump told me yesterday he'd support you over hillary clinton if you get the nomination. would you support him? >> yeah, i would, of course. of course, i would. we need to be unified. we need to win. and i think mr. trump is -- ought to figure out a way maybe to lessen the divisive language, the hurtful language and talk about the aspirations of the american people rather than trying to prey on their fears. >> there is that hillary clinton headline this morning as well. one of her staffers taking the fifth after being subpoenaed to the house committee. what do you make of that? >> she hasn't been truthful. she has had a private server hidden from the obama administration against their rules. we found out about it because of an fbi investigation. people have paid a heavy price for something similar to what she's done.

she should come clean. she should say why she did what she did. classified information should not be on private servers and the world we're living in where she spent most of her time traveling around the world apologizing for the leaks that were done by the manning episode and the snowden episode she should have known this was completely inappropriate and might be illegal. finally, sir, you've had a pretty tough summer. polling averages show you in single digits nationally, in iowa, single digits in new hampshire. what happened and how do you turn it around? >> turn around by recognizing it's a long road. we have a well-funded campaign. next week i unveil a tax plan that i'm really excited about that will create economic opportunity. i'm focusing on how can we lift people out of poverty and give the middle class a pay raise for the first time in 15 years. we have big structural problems in our country and my focus on giving people a sense of my leadership skills to help them. over time i think it will be an effective message.

>> governor bush, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks, george. george now to breaking news to our viewers in the west, a deadly helicopter crash in camp lejeune, north carolina. abc is there with the latest on all of this. good morning to you, martha. >> reporter: good morning, amy. the u.s. marines were aboard a ch-53. the largest helicopter in the u.s. military. used to transport troops and equipment. it was a nighttime training mission at camp lejeune at north carolina. always more difficult at night. the marines are calling it a hard landing, but a landing so hard it killed one marine and left another in serious condition and eight others injured. this came within hours of another so-called hard landing out in colorado, where two army

soldiers were injured. but for the marine corps, this latest fatality brings to 18 the number of marines killed this year in helicopters or tilt-rotor aircraft. amy? >> martha, thank you. we turn to the cop killer in illinois. police respond to a what turned out to be a false report. gio has the story. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. a woman was actually charged with making that false report. tensions are high here because police desperately want to catch these dangerous men. >> white male wearing a white t-shirt last seen northbound. >> reporter: overnight a fresh lead thwarted. a massive police search after a 911 caller reported seeing two suspicious men in a cornfield five miles away from where lieutenant charles joseph gliniewicz was shot and killed but police say that 911 caller, made it all autopsy. now this morning the fallen officer's last words before the

shooting. >> did you need a second unit? >> yeah, go ahead and start somebody. >> this audio obtained by abc station wls appears to be that crucial call from gliniewicz. >> i'm out near the old concrete plant checking out two male white men and one black man. >> reporter: that description the only description gliniewicz could get out before police say the men shot him dead. he was set to retire later this month after 32 years on the force. >> a murdered colleague, police officer and we're not going to stop. >> reporter: one big challenge the scene is remote, desolate, swampy. investigators are combing through videos from nearby businesses and homes but so far they haven't spotted the three men anywhere. >> what you're going to want to do go through the tapes and anybody that logically fits a potential suspect you're going to try to identify. ♪ >> reporter: overnight, gliniewicz's family appearing in public for the first time.

>> joe was my best friend, my world, my hero. the love of my life for the last 26 1/2 years. >> reporter: an emotional moment right there from his widow. you can see behind me this growing memorial here at the police station. this as we learn police are now turning to social media for tips. hoping that more and more tips keep coming in, amy. >> all right. gio, thank you for the latest on that. we turn now to the kentucky county clerk who is refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples provoking angry standoffs at the courthouse. she is facing a judge this morning and could be held in contempt of court. abc's alex perez has been following that story from ashland, kentucky. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, amy. that hearing will take place in the courthouse behind me in a few hours. the county clerk so far adamant. she will not back down. this morning, a judge expected to rule on a motion by the aclu requesting to find kim davis be

fined and held in contempt of court for denying gay koums marriage licenses. >> it's not an issue as religious freedom. as an elected official she has an obligation to follow the law. >> reporter: on wednesday davis again denying marriage licenses turning down robbie blankenship and his partner of 20 years, jesse cruz. >> i'm not discriminating because i am not issuing licenses to anybody. >> reporter: this, after tuesday when davis reviewed david moore and david ermold. they have been trying to get a license here since the supreme court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide in june. >> under whose authority are you not issuing licenses? >> under god's authority. >> reporter: in this small kentucky town davis has some loyal supporters. >> i believe she is right. she's following god's law. >> reporter: her attorney says davis who's come under fire for her own multiple marriages will not back down and is ready for the judge's decision. >> kim davis is prepared for consequences because the other consequences she would not want

to risk and that is being unfaithful to god. >> reporter: and it's unclear just how long this hearing will last but davis herself could be called to testify to explain her actions before the judge. amy. >> and everyone will be listening. alex perez, thanks so much for that. let's go noun to paula faris for the morning's other top stories starting with the growing crisis overseas, paula. good morning. we do begin with a chaotic scene unfolding in central europe. where thousands of refugees fleeing violence in the middle east have been blocked from boarding trains. they're desperately trying to reach germany in search of a better life but in recent days they have been shut out of the train station in budapest, hungary. this morning police finally re-opened the train. but travel west remains limited and hungary is threatening to deploy troops to stop human traffickers. and of course this is all part of a growing humanitarian crisis. hundreds of people including

children have drowned trying to reach european shores fleeing syria, iraq and north africa. and a show of force from chip. it displayed its military mite in this parade marking the end of world war ii. but china's warships have been spotted off the shores of alaska, an example of their expanding reach. new worries about student performance in the nation's high schools. s.a.t. scores have sunk to their lowest levels in ten years. less than half of students who took the test this year showed they were prepared for college level work. and look at this. a wild scene at a gas station near seattle. a man in the store, well, he left his car running. a would-be thief tries stealing it. the owner runs out, he's going to jump inside and they are going to go at it and fight as that car goes in circles. the fight spills out of the car. the owner gets help restraining that man until police arrive. the lesson there don't leave your car running, everybody. overseas, look what happens during a safari incident.

an elephant charges this truck, pushing it around with ease nearly injuring a passenger. it punctured a tire before finally walking away. and finally, how long can you go between haircuts? if you are a sheep, i'm assuming you're not. but if you are, this is what you look like if you go five years between visits to the barber. his name we've given him a name is chris. he lives in australia down under. he really needed a trim, so much so, that he just set a world record, you guys. when he finally got his hair cut they removed a record 93 pounds of wool off of him and, of course, getting rid of it was sheer ecstasy for chris. i love that this have given him the name chris. >> is there a reason for the name chris? >> i don't know the reason for the name chris. but he was in the wild for a long time. >> yes. >> how about that? >> that happens to me after three weeks. >> impressive. red hot at the u.s. open. we'll have that outburst on the court in just 30 seconds.

lara, i guess you can blame it on the heat but that was a fierce blowup at the open. >> it was and we talked about the heat last night. it was a little hot for some more than others. coco vandeweghe, one of the rising young stars in tennis last night lost her cool then the match. temperatures are running hot at this year's u.s. open. causing players to forfeit matches. the tempers are running high, as well. there was no love between 23-year-old coco vandeweghe and her racket wednesday night.

very frustrated with herself. she made a big mistake. instead of focusing on each shot in that match, she was looking toward the third round which would have been a serena showdown, her third one, so we'll never know. >> serena going for the grand slam. thank you, lara. a lot more ahead coming up. a colorado man on trial charged with murder for pushing his wife off a cliff. the evidence that left him speechless and why authorities are now investigating his first wife's death. as huge. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn't need a loan. we needed short-term funding. fast. our amex helped us fill the orders. just like that. you can't predict it, but you can be ready. another step on the journey. will you be ready when growth presents itself? realize your buying power at open.com. still not sure whether to stay

>> that would be great. a lot more coming up. we begin with the colorado man on trial for pushing his wife off a cliff in the rocky mountains. prosecutors say harold henthorn murdered his wife for money and it may not be the first time. his first wife died under suspicious circumstances. abc's neal karlinsky has the story. >> reporter: prosecutors say 58-year-old harold henthorn didn't witness his wife toni, accidentally fall off a cliff in a colorado national park, he pushed her off of it. in a trial beginning this week, they say they plan to prove it. court documents reveal prosecutors believe henthorn planned the 2012 murder during what was supposed to be a romantic hike carrying a map with him highlighted in pink highlighter and an "x" marked near the location where toni henthorn fell to her death. when investigators asked about the map he appeared at a loss for words and could not explain why. >> i think that is a fact that is very hard to explain. it's something that i can see the jury becoming very preoccupied with.

>> reporter: friends and family say henthorn was controlling of his wife. some suspicious of his story that toni fell while taking a picture. >> she's cautious very conservative person. she doesn't go on the edge of anything. >> reporter: prosecutors say something even more suspicious came up during the investigation. an anonymous letter stating henthorn's wife from 17 years ago died in a suspicious accident where henthorn was also the only witness. authorities now reportedly investigating the death of his first wife, 37-year-old sandra henthorn who was crushed under her car while her husband was changing a tire in 1995. though no charges have been filed. both women had substantial life insurance policies according to prosecutors. >> i think that it's always possible that it could be a coincidence but there are just so many similarities here from the way that the two women died in what appeared to be accidents. the fact that they both died it isolated places.

>> reporter: henthorn has pleaded not guilty. jury selection continues this morning. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> our thanks to neal for that. now to police body cameras very much in the headlines and new video this morning revealing the split-second decision so many officers have to make from their point of view. here's abc's pierre thomas. >> reporter: this cell phone video of two sheriff's deputies appearing to shoot a man with his hands up in san antonio caused outrage earlier this week. the two deputies didn't have any body cams. in fact only eight officers on the force do so local officials immediately approved $1 million for hundreds of body cams and dash cams, the goal, to get them to all officers on the street. having as many perspectives as possible is critical in these high-stakes situations. check out this police dash cam when this routine traffic stop in trinity, texas, unexpectedly turns deadly serious as the officer draws his firearm

pointing at the driver of the parked car. from that angle watch again, it looks like the officer aggressively goes for his gun with no provocation from the startled driver. but look closely as we get a different view from the officer's body camera. >> is that a real gun right there? hey, don't touch it don't you touch that gun. >> i'm sorry, i'm sorry. >> reporter: slow down the tape and freeze it right there. a pistol lying right on the front seat and with a man begins to reach for it, you can better understand why the officer pulled out his firearm. >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry. keep your hands out of the car. >> i was thankful we now have our body cameras so we could show why officer wheeler acted aggressively. >> reporter: across the country police departments are in the midst of a body cam buying spree. police in los angeles and new york expanding their use. for "good morning america," pierre thomas, abc news, washington. >> got to believe they're going to help.

inappropriate. >> reporter: these ads known as native advertisements are frequently found along the edges of websites labeled as sponsored content or popular stories, they're actually paid advisements meant to entice readers into clicking on plugs for everything from wrinkle creams to plastic surgery. >> what it is is a very nasty, mean, lying advertisement put out there by somebody without my permission and i'm highly offended. >> reporter: and it's happened to other familiar faces. ellen degeneres blasted advertisers on her talk show. >> that was an ad for a skin serum for a product i do not use. >> reporter: for using her image in this skin care ad without permission. now it's brewer fighting back. >> i'm looking and speaking with lawyers to see what action i can take. >> if a company uses someone's image without their permission, they should immediately contact the company and tell them to pull the photo down. if they don't, they'll have to go to court to get them to pull

it down. >> reporter: now here's what complicates things. the companies that distributed brewer's ads online, rev content and contentad.com make it clear they don't create the material. they just post it telling abc news they're responding to brewer's request and taking steps to remove the image, george. >> okay, rebecca, thanks. coming up on "gma," "gma on the lookout." big parenting alert about baby monitors and how easy it could be for hackers to spy on your family. that's just ahead. in our next hour, four sisters teaming up to take down a nearly $200,000 debt. how they did it in just a year and a half. me of his favorite b; bailey doesn't know that you tried 8 different flavors until you found exactly the one she loves. all they know is, dinner time with you... is the best time of the day! at petsmart, we carry a wide selection of brands & flavors like beneful®, beyond and purina one® so you can find your pet's favorite. and if you find a lower price anywhere else, we'll match it! save up to $6 on select bags

>> reporter: katie schumaker's son brian was officially diagnosed with adhd when he was 7 years old. but katie says she suspected he had the disorder when he was just 2 years old. >> he said everything goes through my head so fast i can't catch it and then i realized i had to do something so i spoke to my pediatrician. >> reporter: the shumakers' story reflective of the cdc's findings in roughly 65% of the 3,000 cases they reviewed. the cdc concluding that parents and not other caretakers in the child's world are often the first and sometimes the best detectors of early signs of adhd. >> one of the things that i feel very fortunate about is that i was home with my children and i was able to see his frustration. if you would have told me in the beginning of his journey in kindergarten or first grade that brian would be the boy he is right now, i would say you're crazy. brian is very happy.

>> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> so if you're concerned your child may have adhd, doctors say you should look for behaviors that are more than average for a child their age. that includes distractible, impulsivity and restless behavior. trouble getting dressed, trouble getting organized. not able to sit through dinner the symptoms should also be present in multiple settings, at home and at school. if it's just occurring in one place it could be limited to that location. for another reason, so as always, seek out the help of a medical professional. certainly good advice. >> a lot of good advice. >> thanks, amy. now we turn to our series, secret cash stash and this morning, we have the story of four sisters in their 20s, they were drowning in debt. we first saw the sisters in "forbes" magazine and needed to learn their secrets to erasing nearly $200,000 and, guys, they did it in less than two years. becky worley shows us how. >> reporter: the barrientos sisters from dallas, texas, had

always been close. four young women, four years apart but with one big problem they were all confronting. >> it was a bit embarrassing to admit that, oh, i have so much debt and i can't really make a dent in it. in my case i had stopped making payments because i couldn't keep up. >> reporter: they had a combined income of $106,000 a year. but between student loans, car payments and credit cards, their combined debt had ballooned to $182,000. insurmountable they feared but then these sisters came up with a novel concept, band together and attack it as a team. >> their loan became our loan. it was no longer your debt, it was our debt. >> reporter: and now they're sharing their secrets. first step, move in together. all four sisters rented a house and became roommates, a savings of $400 a month. another secret, they direct deposited their paychecks to a joint account. >> we're going to pass out some allowance. >> reporter: and held sister meetings where they handed out

an allowance of $75 each every two weeks for spending money. the plan, credit cards paid off first. student loans last and within a month, credit cards were paid in full. would you believe that within six months, all of their car loans were paid off too. a savings of $844.86 a month. for $10,037.12 a year. and they were just getting started. another cost cutting tip they combined car insurance policies saving $191 a month or $2,292 a year and also cut out cable tv. saving $174 a month or $2,088 a year. now, 75 bucks every two weeks isn't a lot of money so how did they get by? well, when they did go out they shared entrees and shopping for clothes, well, that was drop at thrift stores. incredibly 18 months after they
