good morning, america. coming to america, the pope getting ready for his historic visit to the u.s. the first pontiff ever to address congress, throngs of the faithful set to flood the nation's capital to greet pope francis. walkout. the big shake-up in the republican race. former front-runner scott walker drops out, calling on the gop to topple trump. and ben carson walks back his comments about muslims with calls for him to drop out, too. abc news exclusive. that kentucky county clerk at the center of a firestorm in her first one-on-one interview. >> i've been called hitler. i've been called hypocrite. i've been called a homophobe. >> the comments kim davis says hurt her most. the new allegations she's still interfering with issuing marriage licenses. why she says she'll never quit her job only on "gma" this

morning. ♪ don't you dare look back home run on hometown night on "dancing with the stars." bindi rocking to the top spot. tamar hot on her heels. and legendary grammy-winner chaka khan the first booted from the ballroom. she's happy to be going home. ♪ shut up and dance with me we do say good morning, america. and chaka, in your words, i feel for you. man, she gave it her all with keo. but she is the first to leave the dance floor. and another couple will go home tonight. >> yeah, they are wasting no time in getting right to it on "dancing with the stars." also this morning, big exclusive right here, kim davis, that kentucky county clerk, you see her there with paula faris, her first interview since all that controversy since her jailing. we'll have that coming up. but right now, we're just hours away from pope francis arriving here on his historic visit to america. he lands in washington this afternoon arriving from cuba.

and abc's terry moran is there with the pope right now as he wraps up an emotional visit. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. these are pope francis' last few hours here in cuba. it's been an incredible trip. the people here greeting the first latin-american pope almost as a brother, and yet he heads off to america where he's expected to stir up some controversy on inequality and global climate change. but here in cuba, francis has carefully avoided creating any controversy. overnight, a classic pope francis moment. at the end of a long day no limousine for him. or even a private car. instead, a minibus to take him to the seminary where he spent the night. all part of this pope's simple style like his visit last night to cuba's most sacred shrine. ♪ and this morning, francis

celebrated a farewell mass here. they didn't want to let him go. everywhere he goes in cuba francis reaches out on their terms in their language like when he celebrated mass in holguin, cuba's third largest city. and challenged cubans, and their government, which still jails people for being counterrevolutionary traitors. do you believe it is possible, francis asks, that a traitor can become a friend? a gentle rebuke but no more. and no meeting with any cuban dissidents even as he paid a cordial visit to fidel castro who built the repressive regime here. and francis has faced criticism here and in the united states over those matters. but those who are close to him say this is not a pope who is trying to inspire political change. he's after something else, they say. he's preaching the gospel. robin? >> all right, terry, thank you. the pope arrives in washington this afternoon for his three-city whirlwind u.s. tour

which also includes new york and philadelphia. while here, francis, pope francis will say four masses. and make a total of 24 public appearances including at the national mall, central park and independence hall. abc's cecilia vega is in washington this morning where they have rolled out the red carpet. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning, robin. not only is that red carpet out there are a lot of barricades all over the city, too. as you can see right here behind me. this is going to be a historic visit filled with pomp and circumstance but the very first thing pope francis will see when he arrives later today at andrews air force base is the president and the first family. this is a very rare gesture for a president to show up to an airplane, afforded to very few dignitaries. the highlights for washington, d.c., of course, that white house visit, 15,000 people expected at the white house lawn and, of course, that historic first ever papal address to congress. now, congress has been warned, there are rules about these things.

what you won't see this time around like you do at the state of the union, those fist bumps, those hand shakes. as the pope walks down the aisle. this is the house where the pope is going to be spending his evenings here in d.c. right across the street from the vice president's mansion. i haven't -- i know it's hard to believe -- been invited inside. it's supposed to be much lovelier than the digs where pope francis stays back in the vatican. robin? >> i'm sure your invitation was lost in the mail, cecilia, thank you. abc news has live coverage of pope francis in america all week long, beginning with his arrival in d.c., at approximately 4:00 p.m. eastern time the afternoon. and, george, i know you're heading there right after "gma." >> he lands at andrews air force base. the race for president now. "your voice, you vote." and a big shakeup in the race. wisconsin governor scott walker drops out and calls on republicans to stop donald trump as ben carson defies calls to drop out for his comments about muslims. abc's tom llamas is on the trail with carsen in shar sharonville, ohio. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning. the walker campaign lasting only

71 days. one of the shortest in recent memories. i was actually speaking with donald trump as walker was resigning. and like many others, he couldn't believe it was happening so early. this morning, trump is taking the high road. not slamming walker. even though walker says trump needs to be beaten. this morning, a one-time front-runner dropping out of the gop race for president. >> i will suspend my campaign immediately. >> reporter: sources say a campaign cash crunch forced wisconsin governor scott walker to call it quits. walker, slamming current republican front-runner donald trump on his way out. >> i encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive, conservative alternative to the current front-runner. >> reporter: i spoke with trump about the narrowing field while walker was resigning. >> well, i'm surprised but i think he did the right thing and i think you have others that should drop out. because if you look at some of

the numbers where they're at zero or 1%. but many are less than 1%. >> reporter: some calling for dr. ben carson to drop out after he said this. >> i would not advocate we put a muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that. >> reporter: but overnight changing his tune, saying he meant radical islamists, not moderate muslims. >> i don't care what religion or faith someone belongs to, if they're willing to subjugate that to the american way and to our constitution, then i have no problem with it. >> reporter: carly fiorina now in second place according to the latest national poll, coming out strong on this topic late last night. >> well, i think that's wrong. whether it's a person of christian faith or jewish faith or muslim faith or other faith, i think faith gives us humility and empathy and optimism. and i think those are important things. >> reporter: now dr. carson says his comments weren't that controversial. he says after he made those

comments on sunday morning, his facebook page went up by more than 100,000 likes. >> that's one piece of evidence. okay, tom, thanks very much. let's talk about it with matthew dowd. scott walker says he ran out of money but there were reasons he ran out of money. >> this is the first number one seed to get kicked out of the tournament. in homage to the pope, this is like germany losing in the group stage of a world cup. he dominated the polls for awhile. it tells us two things, first a good candidate on paper doesn't always meet reality well. and i think that's scott walker. if you're a .300 hitter in the minor leagues, it doesn't mean you can visithit a curveball in show. the second thing, i think, how much the debates matter. they took walker in double digits to an asterisk in two debates. carly fiorina who wasn't in the main event, is now in the top three. jeb bush was number one and two and now number five. >> who is helped most by this? >> you can see who the vultures picking over the dead carcass of scott walker who is taking what contributors. right now, ted cruz, jeb bush, marco rubio look like they're picking up the most support.

but keep an eye on kasich. he is the last midwesterner in the race, the midwestern states are all winner take all when we get towards the end of the primary. and he actually could make a play in iowa. >> carly fiorina had a light moment on "the tonight show." let's take a look. ♪ my name is snick and i'm lazy please don't take a walk with me i'd rather stay right here ♪ ♪ at home instead i want to lie back down in my nice warm bed ♪ ♪ my name is snick and you're going to have to carry me ♪ >> a different side of carly fiorina right there. and we now have two races in the republican party. >> you have to watch these kind of things. you want to be human but you don't want to look like you're embarrassing yourself. outsiders versus insiders, fiorina, carson, and donald trump will battle over that. and then the insiders who will battle over that. it will be an outside-inside race. >> fascinating race. matthew dowd, thanks very much. >> interesting days. now to a mystery in the sky. an american airlines flight from north carolina to connecticut

forced to make an emergency landing last night after something caused the windshield to crack. abc's david kerley is in washington with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: morning, robin. it is a big question this morning. how did a jet's windshield crack, really shatter in flight when it didn't hit birds, didn't fly through weather? the american airlines flight was from charlotte headed to connecticut. just south of philly, the first officer sees this crack in front of him and the windshield shattering on the a319. so they asked for an emergency landing in philly. here's what they told air traffic control. >> ah, yeah, the right windshield is completely shattered. >> reporter: they landed safely. the 114 passengers got on another jet to continue their flight. we have seen in the past what hail can -- and birds can do to windshields. remember those pictures from denver hail shattering both sides of the windshields. but american says weather and birds were not a factor last night. so they will be looking for other causes. was it a defect? something else? but because philly was a hub the

windshield was replaced overnight and that jet will be back in service today. >> oh, my goodness. well, hopefully, they'll find out what happened. all right, david, thank you. we turn to an unprecedented punishment for a corporate executive. former peanut company chief stewart parnell sentenced to 28 years in prison for knowingly selling tainted peanut butter blamed for nine deaths. he could spend the rest of his life in prison. steve osunsami has the story. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, george. this former ceo is already 61 years old. so they're calling this a virtual life sentence. this morning, a first of its kind decision in a loud and clear message about safety to america's food industry. >> the food safety lost out to greed. >> reporter: former peanut company ceo stewart parnell is in an albany, georgia, jail cell right now. a federal judge sentenced him to 28 years monday after one of his roasting plants was blamed for a deadly outbreak of salmonella in 2008. nine people died.

714 got sick across 46 states. at trial, prosecutors shared e-mails where they say parnell pushed employees to sell tainted food, saying, just ship it. i cannot afford to lose another customer. gabrielle meunier was one of those customers. her son christopher was 7 years old when he got sick. she spoke at parnell's sentencing. >> i have to tell you, when i first spotted him, i wanted to cry. i feel badly, this should never have happened. this never should have happened to begin with. >> reporter: they're holding executives and even farmers responsible for dangerous outbreaks. two egg executives got sentences after a 2010 salmonella outbreak. last year two cantaloupe farmers were sentenced to five years probation and six months home detention for a listeria outbreak in 2011. but parnell's nearly three-decade prison sentence is the stiffest punishment the industry has ever seen. >> my mother shirley beat cancer. and died from eating peanut butter. today was a victory. it was justice for her a other families who needlessly suffered and ate food that they believed

to be properly processed. >> reporter: parnell isn't the only former executive at his company facing real time. his brother was sentenced to 20 years. another manager sentenced to five. robin? >> all right, steve, those comments from the victims' families. my goodness. flash flooding in the southwest and powerful storms closing roads and knocking out power. and ginger, more rain is in the forecast? >> yes, more rain. and the flash flood watch is still on for at least a few more hours this morning. from rio rico, arizona, washes over the roads. do not drive on through that. up to 4.6 inches of rain. most of it just outside tucson washing over the roads closing several of them. and of course, causing several accidents. so, again, two pockets of flash flood watches in new mexico and southern california. these actually go through this evening so we'll watch that. on the backlash of that low and all the moisture pools up into the plains. so the next spot we'll watch for heavy rain is in kansas and nebraska. a whole lot more coming up. >> good to have you back and now amy has the other top stories

starting with the rising cost of prescription drugs. >> that's right. wall street is reacting to a new proposal from hillary clinton. she wants to cap prescription drug prices for some patients at $250 per month. word of that plan sent biotech and drug stocks plunging. it comes amid growing outrage over a 5,000% increase in the price of a drug used by cancer and aids patients. clinton calls that price-gouging. a texas businesswoman under arrest in china accused of spying. sandy phan-gillis has been in chinese custody since march, when she was part of a delegation visiting china. her husband calling the charges ridiculous and wants president obama to raise the case when china's president visits washington this week. in california, a navy jet crashed into this field near fresno. you can see there the smoke rising from the site. the pilot thankfully ejected just moments earlier and is okay this morning. the $30 million jet, though, is a total loss.

a violent crash at this racetrack in europe. watch as the car careens out of control, slamming into a fence, launching into the air, and rolling at least half a dozen times. somehow miraculously that driver was able to walk away from the site. apple is reportedly speeding up plans to build an electric car. we do not know what it will look like yet. but the internet is full of potential designs, like that one. "the wall street journal" says it could go on sale in 2019. and finally, what's 468 feet long and costs more than $400 million? answer, a russian billionaire's new record-breaking superyacht. it is the world's largest sailing ship, the masts climb 300 feet into the sky. it features eight floors. eight floors, a pool, helicopter pad, and an underwater observation deck. the windows were even made of bombproof glass. and the ship can host 20 people. that's it?

and requires -- wow. but you need 54 crew members to get this baby on the water. but you know what they say about the two best days of a boat owner's life? the day you buy the boat and the day you sell the boat. is that true for this one? >> i don't know about this one. >> you need a lot of champagne too to get that thing started. to crash it. >> i'm with you. only 20 people for 400 million bucks. okay, amy, thanks very much. a major scandal at volkswagen. affecting millions of car owners. what it could mean for you in just 30 seconds.

volkswagen is bracing for billions in fines, possible criminal charges for its executives as the company apologized for rigging 11 million cars to help it beat emission tests. abc's t.j. holmes here. and t.j., volkswagen also facing millions of angry customers. >> reporter: a lot of angry customers. that's no reason for us to mince words here, george. volkswagen cheated and got caught and millions of people have been putting out a much bigger carbon footprint than they were led to believe. overnight volkswagen throwing a huge party to celebrate their new line of passats, including this energetic performance by lenny kravitz. ♪ but the other headline at the event, a huge company mea culpa. >> we've totally screwed up. >> reporter: volkswagen ceo michael horn acknowledging the company knowingly sold 500,000 diesel-powered cars in america which intentionally faked emissions tests. customers in their cars emitting as much as 40 times the legal pollution limit. >> so let's be clear about this.

our company was dishonest. >> reporter: now the german automakers face billions in fines, while their executives could face criminal charges. volkswagen admitted they intentionally put these software programs to go to a cleaner mode during official emissions testing. a fact not lost on its loyal fan base thinking they were environmentally friendly. >> regardless of how much they have fudged by, it's the fact that they lied in the first place because that's going to give me concern. >> reporter: volkswagen halted all u.s. sales of the diesel cars and pledged to cooperate with regulators. still the show went on last night, the company hoping to focus on its future rather than its admitted deception of the past. i know, robin. you threw your hands up at the party going on. you want to distract attention. this is not like recalls we have seen in the past where somebody made a mistake. they did this on purpose. 11 million cars worldwide and they've already set aside some $7 billion to deal with fines.

could get $18 billion in fines just here. and people might want their cars back. you think you're driving environmentally friendly. you're out there just putting it out. >> all right, t.j. thanks. all right. ahead this morning, an abc news exclusive. one on one with embattled kentucky clerk kim davis, speaking out about the backlash she's faced for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses. >> what probably hurts me the worst -- that my god does not love me. re drinking? it's trop50. it's fine. it tastes delicious and has 50% less calories. with this taste? no way. give me fifty squats. but... it can't taste this good... read the label. ...and have 50% less calories? exactly, now you drop... and give me the 50.

she tells me if it comes down to it she is prepared to go back to jail. >> i have never once spouted a word of hate. i've not been hateful. i've had people yelling and screaming and cussing me. >> reporter: kim davis says she never expected to become a household name when she started denying marriage licenses at her county clerk office. >> i'm just a normal person that has been touched by the grace of god and his mercy and i haven't always been a good person, paula. um -- when i -- didn't live for god, i didn't live for him. and i was real good at living -- uh -- for the devil. >> reporter: you've been married four times. >> uh-huh. >> you had children in an adulterous relationship. people are calling you a hypocrite. are you? >> no. i'm forgiven.

washed clean. >> reporter: and so 4 1/2 years ago when davis found god, she said she could not separate church from state, believing that a marriage is only between a man and a woman. davis, who was elected in november as a democrat, refuses to obey the opinion of the supreme court that sent her to jail for contempt. who do you consider your boss, is your boss god? is your boss your constituents? or is your boss the federal government? >> well, my constituents elected me. but the main authority that rules my life is the lord. >> reporter: so godly authority trumps all authority in your mind. >> yes. >> reporter: so why would you want to remain in this position? >> i'm good at my job. i have friends who are gay and lesbians. they know where i stand. and we don't agree on this issue. and we're okay because we respect each other. >> reporter: so you would deny your friends, who are in gay relationships, you would deny them a marriage license, as well? >> i did.

i can't put my name on a license that doesn't represent what god ordained marriage to be. >> reporter: and there are thousands of others who feel the same way. she's received encouragement from all over the world. numerous handwritten notes. a handmade prayer shawl. and crosses. but the hate mail came, too. very vulgar. >> i've been called hitler. i've been called a hypocrite. i've been called a homophobe. what probably hurts me the worst -- that my god does not love me. or that my god is not happy with me. that i am a hypocrite of a christian. >> reporter: davis was released from jail after being behind bars for six days, greeting the public in an emotional rally. even getting the attention of presidential hopeful mike huckabee.

now back at work she's still refusing to put her name on any marriage licenses, forcing her deputies like brian mason to take over those duties. now brian is signing all of the marriage licenses. your name is not on those licees. in your mind, are they still valid? >> they're not valid in god's eyes for one and, you know, i think the authority -- i have given no authority to write a marriage license. they did not have my permission they did not have my authorization. >> reporter: one of the voters who finally received a marriage license said that he finally felt human. that was a direct quote. he was in tears. people will question why is your moral conscience, kim, more important than someone else's happiness? >> i don't think dignity is guaranteed in the constitution i think dignity is something that you find within yourself. i feel really sad that someone could be so unhappy with themselves as a person that they did not feel dignified as a

human being until they got a piece of paper. i mean, there's just so much more to life than that. >> and this is really just the beginning for many clerks across the country. i'm told by davis' counsel that clerks in over five states are also seeking exemptions like kim davis. they do not want their names on these gay marriage licenses, george? >> there have been new complaints. she seems defiant. she's prepared to go back to jail? >> she said she is and digging her heels in. >> thanks very much. fascinating stuff. you have a lot more on "the view." >> i'm sure it will be a lively discussion on "the view." >> it will be. now to the investigation into a huge explosion that leveled one texas home and damaged several others. two people are still in the hospital this morning. but somehow, no one, thankfully, was killed. abc's ryan owens has that story for us. >> reporter: some residents of this north texas neighborhood still unable to return home this morning, evacuated after a massive explosion. >> we'll send a full response to

>> i did love it. >> oh, my gosh. vintage. her first public appearance since revealing she had breast cancer right here on "gma." just a few months ago. we will talk to her in just a moment. look at her looking good, beautiful. live here in the studio but first a look at her journey. it was a diagnosis that shook her world in march. >> i walked off the set. and 20 minutes later, my doctor called and told me i had breast cancer. >> reporter: sandra lee, undergoing a double mastectomy in may, with her longtime partner, andrew cuomo, by her side. >> there's two different ways cancer beats you up, beats up your body and it beats you up emotionally. and it -- i wasn't beginning to let it rob me from one day of happiness. >> reporter: lee's doctors confident they had caught it before it spread but an infection led to a setback and

more surgery. now slee back on the mend. she looked stunning on the red captain at sunday's emmy awards. she looks stunning with us this morning. please welcome back sandra lee to "gma." you have been a good friend to all of us here and i know you want to get right to your news. what is it? >> i have good news. last time i came and shared with you some very bad news. but this time, i'm coming to share with you that my doctors have said i'm cancer-free, and i am ready to go. so i celebrated at the emmys, of course. >> oh, you did. you looked gorgeous there at the emmys. >> thank you. >> you know, so happy that you're doing as well as you are because as you said last time you were here, you were telling us what was going on. you had the surgery, you had a setback with an infection. and then glorious on the red carpet. and some people will say, how can you be told so quickly by your doctors that you're cancer-free? >> well, i was early stage and what the beautiful thing about

early stage cancer and there's so many young women on my facebook and social media platform, 20s and 30s that were telling me they were diagnosed with not just dcis but other cancers and had to have a mastectomy or double mastectomy. it is an epidemic in 20 and 30-year-olds. so what dcis does and early detection does is it gives you every option in the world. and that is what i took. and it's all the beautiful leaders that came before us. people that aren't even here anymore. they're in heaven enjoying heaven. and the researchers and the doctors and nurses and other warrior, not just breast cancer but all cancer that came before us and sacrificed their lives so we could have early detection so it's only -- it's only respectful to ourselves and to their work and what they gave up for us to get our tushies in there and get it diagnosed and then cut it out and take care of it. >> and that's what you did. and it has worked for you.

and again, we're so incredibly happy. you were disappointed -- a number of people reached out to you. "new york times" article i'm talking about you talked about dcis. some doctors feel at that early stage that perhaps procedures are not as necessary as are going through and you said a lot of young women reached out to you angry about this. >> i called my doctor too and had a big discussion about "the new york times." it was a front page article on how to deal with dcis and/or early stages of cancer. and how you should have a wait and see approach. which is absolutely ridiculous. why we would consider negotiating with cancer is beyond me. let's just wait and see what it does. it's like a terrorist that lives inside your body and we're going to wait and see what it does. we know what it's going to do. so i have a very clear perspective of what that is. and i'm thrilled with my decision. and i don't know what the decision is for every woman in my family but mammograms you might be too young to have a mammogram because of radiation. well there's's high-definition ultrasounds. there are ways to check

yourself. i am not a doctor but one more thing that infuriates me and that is this perception we're all about the boobs. women are not just about their boobs which was the statement i was making when i wore that dress. that dress, you could only wear -- >> that's what you said. you were going to give it to someone else after. >> i love that dress. >> you already had that dress, a vintage dress. >> i did. and i couldn't wear it because i was a little bit too big on top. and so then, i turned my -- as you say, my mess into my message, and i got to wear that plunging dress. it's a thierry mugler from the '70s. it's beautiful. it doesn't matter if you are a double d that i was or an "a" like i am. i don't even know how i feel anymore. i feel young and liberated. >> you do. you can just feel how vibrant you feel. so there's no treatment. there's nothing -- where is your prognosis now and what are the things that you're going to be

working on? i know you'll be active next month on breast cancer awareness month. >> i am cancer-free which is such a blessing. i'm not even going to think about taking the next steps until after super bowl. i don't want anything to mess up my super bowl tickets. i already organized the hotel. and we'll think about that in february. but i have become the ambassador for stand up to cancer. i am going to be working with susan g. komen and the run/walks. i go this saturday to san francisco to cut the ribbon and also to speak afterwards and also advocacy work, not only on my childhood hunger and with unicef but also on early detection is really important. >> wonderful. i know many people have reached out to you on social media and you're grateful for the outpouring of love and support you received. >> so grateful. >> so grateful to you. >> and to you. thank you. >> oh, no, no, no. >> oh, my gosh. you were like the best friend. thank you so much. >> we're all in this together, amy, lara, george.

saw anne hathaway sitting with robert de niro and i saw the words "the intern," my perception was -- >> yeah. >> that it was anne that was the intern. >> no, robert de niro plays the intern in this movie. it's a really great, great film and so proud to be a little part of it and it opens this friday which is very exciting. >> yeah, well, i was going to say that at the end but let's plug it, beginning, middle and end. what was it like working with the great robert de niro? was there that sense of nervousness. >> oh, yeah, no, that never went away. it literally never went away. he could not be nicer, could not be friendlier and make himself for accessible, very generous. that's him right now. >> yes, he's waiting for you. >> he's coming to pick me up. >> yeah. >> one second. you know what i never got to the part that i never got to him with him, he would say call me bob and i can't. >> i so would have. >> i have to call you mr. de niro. >> there is a respect thing. can we show a clip?
