that was shared with them. >> reporter: cummins and thomas then made their way to those cabins where they stayed with griffin barry, a local resident and went by john and joanna and cummins said the teen who stayed silent during their interactions was 24. barry says on wednesday, cummins helped him fish rocks out of a creek. police say the pair was inside that cabin for two nights. what they didn't have was running water or electricity. what police say they did have was two handguns. barry says once he realized who they were, he called 911. police asking him to help capture cummins. so, police asked you to go kind of wake the couple up. >> yeah, they didn't want the hostage situation or anything like that. >> reporter: cummins and thomas first went missing on march 13th more than five weeks ago. authorities combing through nearly 1,500 leads from all 50 states looking for the pair. sightings of them across the country from tennessee to georgia and oklahoma, all the way to their final destination in california.

and i had a photo of him, and it was the amber alert, and i was, like, that's definitely the guy. >> sheriff, i want to bring you into this because obviously we know griffin called 911. tell me what happened when you all got that call and decided to pursue these two. >> the leaders of our s.w.a.t. team decided that they would form a perimeter around the cabin and instead of trying to breach the door and potentially jeopardize the hostage, you know, the suspect and our s.w.a.t. operators, we formed a perimeter and got into hide positions and decided to wait until the suspect exited the cabin. he was enticed to exit the cabin around 9:30 on thursday morning. and the srt team took him into custody without incident. >> i wanted to bring in

lieutenant tharsing. because i know you were actually there conducting the arrest of tad. can you give me a sense of their reaction to the arrest? did tad or elizabeth say anything or do anything? >> you know, they made a couple spontaneous statements saying he was glad the incident had come to an end. he was relieved. he made several comments he wasn't going to cause any altercation with law enforcement and said he had seen the flyers and bolos that he was armed and dangerous. he said he was armed but in no way dangerous and wanted to make sure that he would cooperate with law enforcement fully and completely. >> lieutenant, how did elizabeth seem? what was her demeanor? >> obviously, whenever the s.w.a.t. team shows up that can be traumatic. she saw us. it was an intense situation and we took -- after we placed him into protective custody, she was laughing, she was crying. she was kind of an emotional roller coaster as you can imagine. >> all right, well, sheriff jon lopey, lieutenant behr tharsing

and griffin barry, thank for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> the sheriff and lieutenant said if griffin had not called 911 they would be no closer to finding those two and thankfully it happened without incident which is pretty remarkable. we will hear exclusively from elizabeth's family just ahead later in the show. >> we'll talk to her dad coming up. we have a lot of headlines out of washington. the countdown is on. the president and congress have one week to come together on a funding bill or the government will shut down. vice president mike pence in australia today on the final leg of his trip to the asia pacific region where he delivered some tough warnings to north korea. that regime is firing back. and house republicans taking another crack at health care, trying to strike a new deal before president trump hits his 100 days in office next saturday. white house pushing hard behind the scenes so let's get the latest from our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning to you. the white house and the president hope to be able to tick off a long list of accomplishments when he hits the 100-day mark. so far, health care reform is not on that list, but this white house is hoping to change that.

the italian prime minister by his side, president trump in the white house trying to sound optimistic about his promise to overturn obamacare. >> we're doing very well on health care. we'll see what happens. but this is a great bill. this is a great plan and this will be great health care. it's evolving. >> reporter: behind the scenes aides working feverishly to resurrect a signature campaign promise that went down in flames after republicans failed to reach an agreement. >> it was a very, very tight margin. we had no democrat support. >> reporter: the president's team hoping to lock in a new plan by the time he hits his first 100 days in office next saturday. and there is a major obstacle in their way. a looming government shutdown. if congress doesn't pass a funding bill by next friday. asked which is more important, overturning obamacare or keeping the government open -- >> i want to get both. are you shocked to hear that? >> reporter: sources say the new plan would keep some popular

parts of obamacare like coverage for pre-existing conditions but individual states could ask to opt out of some of those key mandates to help keep down the cost of insurance. and congress is still out on its recess, so the real test comes next week when they return, but right now no indication that the republicans who oppose the health care reform bill on the last one are now ready for a new deal on this new one and democrats right now, george, already say no way. nancy pelosi calls this plan worse than the last one. >> they say it's not going anywhere. meantime, on the government funding talks behind the scenes have been going pretty well to keep the government open for some time. a new stumbling block is emerging right now. this white house demand for funding for the border wall. >> reporter: yeah. you know, the clock is ticking right now on this deadline for this government shutdown. the white house really is drawing a hard line on this and say democrats have to help fund this border wall. this is a priority for the president. this is a sticking point for them but, look, george, democrats are holding the line and say the white house is

moving in with a heavy hand right now. >> the government won't stay open if some democrats don't vote for it. cecilia vega, thanks very much. all right, and now to that war of words with north korea. the rogue nation warning of a, quote, super mighty preemptive strike they say would reduce forces in south korea and the u.s. to ashes. china now putting some of its bombers on heightened alert and our chief correspondent, jonathan karl, has all of those developments. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning. quite a threat from the north koreans to reduce u.s. forces to ashes. but just a short while ago defense secretary james mattis dismissed the threat as the kind of thing the north koreans have been saying for decades but there is no question the u.s. is on heightened alert. the biggest concern right now are indications the north koreans are preparing to conduct a nuclear test. that would be the first nuclear test by north korea since donald trump became president and a significant escalation of this crisis. >> jon, we know the white house is moving the aircraft carrier into the region and president trump touting military turns but

is there any sign of a diplomatic solution? >> reporter: the big diplomatic push is with china. this administration trying to get china to put more pressure on north korea and yesterday the president said there are indications that china is stepping up. >> i can say that all of the pundits out there are saying they never have seen china work like they're working right now. some very unusual moves have been made over the last two or three hours. >> reporter: so what was he talking about with those new moves over the last two or three hours? i asked the senior staff here at the white house. we asked the pentagon. we asked the state department. nobody could or would tell us. but could be that heightened alert status those chinese bombers were put on possibly, amy. >> all right, jon karl, thank you. george. more with matthew dowd here. let's talk about the 100 days. the white house seems conflicted on how to talk about it. on the one hand, the president says no one has accomplished more in the first 100 days than i have and this morning out with

a new tweet saying, no matter how much i accomplish during this ridiculous standard of the first 100 days and it has been a lot including the supreme court, media will kill. so they're braced for all this right now. how should we think about it? >> first of all, it's a standard he has been talking about, right, ever since election day, all the things he was going to do in the first 100 days. i would say what's so far it's very mixed. let's keep in mind he has all the levers of powers in washington. he has the presidency, he has the senate. he has the house, and the supreme court in that. you would think having all these home games basically he's going to have a series of wins so i think it's been underwhelming and if you look at the public's response to the first 92 days, two-thirds of the country think we're off on the wrong track, and a majority of the country still disapproves of him so i think he still has much more to prove. >> number one thing he has to do? >> i think he has to pass a bill at some point where you see he's wrought congress together and he demonstrates it. all the things he said so far the public has not yet seen it

affecting their lives. >> matt dowd, thanks very much. all the latest in politics sunday morning on "this week" and we'll release a brand new poll on the president's first 100 days. michael. new fallout at fox news over reports that former host bill o'reilly will receive millions of dollars in severance pay despite those sexual harassment allegations which he has denied. abc's rebecca jarvis has new details. >> you are about to enter the no spin zone. >> reporter: this morning, bill o'reilly reportedly $25 million richer. >> around this time of year i grab some vacation. >> reporter: last seen on fox news 11 days ago now leaving the network with a massive golden parachute.

>> reporter: perquita burgess who worked as a temp at fox sharing her story publicly for the first time on "the view" thursday. >> i was mortified. >> reporter: o'reilly's attorney telling abc news they are not commenting at this time on perquita's burgess' claims. fox has paid out more than $85 million related to sexual harassment allegations. most of which has gone to the men accused of doing the harassing, causing outrage. o'reilly now leaving the company with what will be its second biggest payout after former ceo roger ailes left with $40 million in july. both men deny the allegations. and lisa bloom, a lawyer who represents two of the women who have brought sexual harassment allegations against o'reilly tells abc news, bill o'reilly is living proof that money cannot buy human decency. michael. >> all right. thank you, rebecca. now to rob marciano with severe weather and flash flooding from the plains to the midwest. >> hi, michael. good morning, guys.

jackson. so many students across this country take international trips. what is your message to other parents? >> trust no one. tomari may have been an afterthought to many but to me he was everything. >> a strong mother right there. you can read the sanctuary's full statement on our website. adell bought that camera for tomari right before the class trip. the u.s. state department sent it to her after receiving it from the sanctuary in belize. while she says no one spoke up for him after his death, she believes tomari has spoken for himself with this video. >> that video is so telling because you can see the chaperones right there. what does the family say the chaperones were doing while their son was drowning? >> well, they believe that they were just swimming around and not taking care of those kids. they say the video backs them up. >> all right. gio, thanks so much. certainly an incredibly tragic story. >> it sure is. michael. coming up on our big board,

we are back with our big board. larry hackett is here with us for our first story. it's about celebrity social media ads. whether you realize it or not you may have seen them on your instagram feeds like kim kardashian and rihanna post paid promotions but now the federal trade commission is warning more than 90 unidentified influencers need to clearly disclose their relationships with those brands. and the ftc would not get specific on which celebrities they're talking about but talk about what they're most concerned about. >> they're concerned the public does not know when these celebs appear with these products that they're actually endorsing them and getting paid for it. you look at these ads. one with kim kardashian where

she has an sp on her ad. that's not good enough. the fcc says that's not enough. that means sponsored. with selena gomez, #ad. clear identification what she's holding there is actually an ad and getting paid for it. >> okay, that's the thing getting paid for it. how lucrative are these -- is it for these social media personalities to post these things on instagram? >> one study that selena gomez can make as much as half a million dollars for a single posting. >> whoa. >> yes. if you have a big audience it can mean a lot. markets will pay anything to reach young people who are going to be buying stuff. >> speaking of young people who love them, do you think they'll care if they're getting paid for these or not? >> no, they don't. we have a president who endorsed steaks and universities and i think they know very well that when these people show these products they are getting paid for it so i think it's catch up on the part of the ftc. i don't see any -- there's one

that says ad, i'm not going to buy that soda. >> changing it from #sp to #ad. >> it seems to be for now. what the ttc is asking for and see if they're happy or they'll ratchet it up. >> 90 people got those letters. i wasn't one of them, at the time you that much. thank you, larry. next up the hottest new frozen drink, the starbucks unicorn frappuccino is taking america by storm and customers are lining up around the country for a chance to try the sugary treat, and opinions are sharply divided. t.j. holmes is at a starbucks right outside of our studio. t.j., these drinks are selling like hot cakes but not everybody is a fan of this drink. >> yeah, strahan, everybody calm down. 500 calories, 76 grams of sugar, 18 grams of fat. let's all line up. that's what this is. cotton candy in a cup. people are going crazy about it. a lot of people -- i'll get into the general public in a second but the baristas also have an issue. one kid in particular, listen to his rant.

>> i have never made so many frappuccinos in my entire life. my hands are completely sticky. i have unicorn crap all in my hair and on my nose. i have never been so stressed out in my entire life. for the love of god and everything that is good, don't get the unicorn frappuccino. [ laughter ] >> okay. well, all right. look, never been so stressed out in his life. he's 19. just wait, little homey. all right. you're going to be longing for the days of frappuccinos. a lot of baristas agree. they're having a tough time making this thing. all right. but it got a lot of attention. >> speaking about online, people have been losing their mind because they love it so much. tell us what they are saying. my daughters apparently got two of those yesterday too. >> okay. tell her to stay away. there's nothing but embarrassment and humiliation and lost dreams in this cup, okay.

look, the thing is made up of all kinds of stuff. now, this thing is not meant to be consumed. it's meant to be instagramed. it's pretty. these are some of the reactions people had. i'm going to go ahead -- of course i thought about you guys. we got some for you. bring them out. give them to our guys there in the studio. you can taste them while i go through what some people are saying online. one guy said the unicorn frappuccino tastes like a birthday party nobody came to. somebody else said sitting in starbucks watching people's excitement turn to disgust is so entertaining. another, raise your hand if this is the most important thing on your to-do list today. it's only going to be around for a few more days, folks. it's meant to be promotional and fun. did you try it? let me hear the reaction. >> it tastes like a sweet tart. >> i tell you, it tastes like a sweet tart and i got to admit i love sweet tarts. >> could you drink that? >> guys -- >> i couldn't drink all of it. but it was pretty good. >> here's the thing, guys. the cool thing, they say the cool thing, you stir it, it changes color and it changes taste. it goes from sweet to sour.

that's another thing that people are just kind of getting excited about. >> i tell you what, that kid who posted that video, i am going back to what that video as one of the funniest things i've ever seen and hopefully he did #ad. >> or #noad. >> #nothanks. t.j., thank you, larry, thank you very much. that exclusive caitlyn jenner one-on-one with diane sawyer revealing what her life is like now. coming up "gma's" concert series is presented by belvita breakfast biscuits. the delicious way to fuel your morning. the delicious way to fuel your morning. to great tasting flavor.

>> even her and i have not talked enough about our mother. >> has doing this campaign made you realize that? >> i think so. what's the point in bringing up the past? what's the point in bringing up something that will make you sad? it ain't going to change it and it ain't going to bring her back. when you start thinking like that it can be damaging. you always said to me you've got to sit down and think about those memories. >> but this conversation and prince harry's interview earlier this week he's been revealing a lot about the difficulty he faced dealing with his mother's death. that and the messages don't bottle it up. >> i love it. >> seen him do it. >> doing a great job opening up for the better good of everybody. thank you, linzie. coming up, we have that exclusive with caitlyn jenner.
