7:02 am
and good morning, america. great to have you with us on this tuesday morning. tiffany haddish, always a good choice for host. a lot of people talking about how funny she was and all the outfits she wore. that was probably my favorite, meghan markle. j-lo right there. she pulled out all the stops and she'll have a lot. >> everybody remembers that j-lo moment. we have a lot to get to. it's a busy tuesday morning here on "gma." we're going to begin with that growing crisis at the border. president trump heading to capitol hill today as some members of his own party add pressure to him to stop this. after every living former first lady came out against his policy. >> and there are new images this morning showing what it's like inside those facility where migrant children being held and new audio from reportedly separated from their parents getting so much reaction this morning. gio benitez is at the border outside el paso, texas. he's got the latest.
7:03 am

7:04 am
you can hear what appears to be children sobbing for their parents. then a voice that propublica says belongs to a border patrol agent. one girl begs agents to call her aunt. the administration says all children in federal care are well looked after. >> we operate according to some of the highest standards in the country. we provide food, medical, education and all needs that the child requests. >> reporter: but this man until last week worked at the facility in arizona tells abc news he quit because of what he says he saw inside. >> the shift leader called me over the radio and said you need to come translate for these kids and tell them they can't hug, tell them the rules. three brazilian siblings who had been separated from their mother the night prior, everyone is crying, the brother is trying to stay strong. but also just weeping.
7:05 am
>> reporter: southwest keys, the organization that runs the center where davidson formerly works telling abc news it has experienced, trained staff to provide comfort and counseling. to help the child feel more comfortable. hugging is absolutely allowed. but that wasn't the experience of one of the premier pediatricians in the country. dr. colleen craft, head of the american academy of pediatrics, tells us not only was there no hugging in the shelter she toured, it was simply child abuse. >> when these children are exposed to toxic stress chemicals for long periods of time without that caring adult to help them out, we know this disrupts their brain architecture and it disrupts their development. >> reporter: some kids separated from their families now ending up with american foster parents, like this couple in michigan who asked us not to show their faces, taking care of a 10-year-old guatemalan boy. >> his father was taken away in what he described as handcuffs behind his back and our boy was
7:06 am
then detained for 24 hours in a detention facility. but when he came to us, he was extraordinarily fearful. he was afraid to eat. he was afraid to look. his clothes were soiled. he wouldn't use the bathroom. >> reporter: and now everyday people from across this country are raising money to help these migrant families. in fact, one couple in california has already raised more than $3.6 million in three days, 84,000 people contributing to that facebook campaign. michael. >> all right, gio, just heart-wrenching to hear those cries from those children. how are these families -- how are they finally reunited? >> reporter: michael, the fwoft says there's a phone number that parents can call, as long as they haven't been transferred to immigration and customs. they can call this number, find out where their child is. the government says they'll eventually be reunited. we just don't know how long that will take. >> thank you so much, gio. david.
7:07 am
>> we're going to keep asking about that because there are reports that parents get deported and sometimes their children are left back here and they're not reunited. we'll stay on this. the battle over the border making its way to capitol hill this morning. president trump is preparing to meet with republican lawmakers, some of whom now say that this zero tolerance policy is going too far. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is back on this this morning. good morning. >> reporter: david, good morning to you. president trump said he doesn't like seeing these images of children in detention centers. but he said it's up to democrats to put a stop to this, even though many of the president's own allies say all he has to do is pick up the phone, make one phone call and he himself could bring this to an end. overnight, the white house digging in, from attorney general jeff sessions, no apology. >> we're doing the right thing, we're taking care of these children. they are not being abused. >> reporter: the president himself not backing down either. >> the united states will not be a migrant camp and will not be a refugee holding facility.
7:08 am
it won't be. >> reporter: president trump again pushing his false claim that separating children at the border is required by law, a law he says democrats can fix. >> i say it's very strongly the democrats' fault. they're really obstructionists. >> reporter: but the reality, there is no law. instead, this is a policy created by his administration, part of his zero tolerance crackdown on illegal immigration. past administrations allowed families to remain together while their cases were reviewed. even though the president's own chief of staff has said the separations are meant to deter undocumented immigrants -- >> could be a tough deterrent, would be a tough deterrent. >> reporter: homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen bristled when asked if the administration is using these children as pawns. >> are you intending to send a message? >> i find that offensive, no. >> have you seen the photos of
7:09 am
children in cages? have you heard the audio clip of these children wailing? >> i have been to detention centers and again, i would reference you to our standards. i would reference you to the care provided not just by the homeland security but by the health and human services. >> but is the image of this country that you want out there? >> the image i want is an immigration system that upholds our borders. congress needs to fix it. zbrr it's those very images now sparking widespread outrage. all four living first ladies going public with their opposition. even members of the president's own party firing back. senator john mccain calling the policy an affront to the decency of the american people and contrary to the principles and values upon which our nation was founded. and from texas, senator ted cruz --
7:10 am
>> all of us seeing these images of children being pulled away from moms and dads in tears, we're horrified. this has to stop. kids need their moms and dads. >> starting to hear from some republicans as well. cecilia vega is with us live. the president heads to capitol hill today. >> he does in a closed door meeting with republicans, that could end this family separation policy. many of these republicans, david, fearful that this issue, this controversy, could come back and hurt them come the midterms. the president could very easily get an earful today. you know this, 2,000 children separated from their families. i got to tell you, david, it feels like the fallout on this one is only just beginning. >> yeah, it's not going away. cecilia, thank you. and this morning, a poll out on this one. where do americans stand, on separating children from their parents when crossing illegally, americans oppose it by a 2 to 1 margin. let's get right to our chief political analyst matthew dowd, in texas, you heard cecilia vega report there, that the president has repeatedly blamed democrats for this. but this zero tolerance policy is something his administration has put into place.
7:11 am
homeland secretary nielsen saying the only way it can end is through congressional action, but bottom line, is that true? >> it's categorically false. that's totally untrue what she says. the president in a 30-second phone call, a one-minute meeting or the stroke of his pen could end this crisis. the reason why he doesn't, he wants his wall. he's using the kids right now as a hostage to get his wall paid for. >> matt, we heard john mccain, ted cruz in texas, here what a democratic senator mazey said in the last 24 hours about lawmakers who have not tried to stop this. listen. >> i hate to call them what they are -- gutless wonders, they need to step up. this is a party that continues to talk about family unity and all that is so important. the word hypocrisy doesn't even begin to describe the fact that more of them have not come forward. >> no question here, matt, that the pressure is mounting. is the president taking a risk
7:12 am
here or is he trying to speak to the base that got him elected? what's going on? >> david, this is a huge risk. this is one of the moments that really fundamentally changes this. the president is wrong on the policy. but politically it's a really bad move. you can see it's beginning to fracture his support. keep in mind, he has 85% support among republicans. but a thd of republicans are opposed to this policy. his tactics that he's used thus far which he's used before, blame the democrats, blame the mexicans, blame the media, aren't working. >> thank you. we turn now to that major flash flooding across the midwest. severe storms causing major damage forcing rescues like this one in rockford, illinois. take a look at that. abc's alex perez there with the very latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, amy. luckily that resident is going to be okay but it was a rough night of flooding here across the rockford area. many areas, take a look, ended
7:13 am
up just like this one. cars floating away in the flood. overnight, a flash flood emergency. drivers stranded. water rising inside a hospital. this was the scene in rockford, illinois, water picking up and carrying away that car. >> hurry up, give me something to break the window. >> reporter: people jumping into action, smashing the windows, an elderly man trapped inside. everyone working together, miraculously, the man pulled to safety, that cadillac submerged nose first. emergency crews scrambling to the scene as more stranded drivers wait to be rescued. this man, out of his car, waving at drivers to stop. >> our hospital is flooding. >> reporter: and check out the halls of mercy health hospital, water streaming through the hallways. >> there is a river here. the water's not stopping. >> reporter: trash floating through, patients evacuated overnight. and in wisconsin, a state of emergency has been declared after a dam failure.
7:14 am
raging water pouring through the broken dam, flowing for miles downstream across the border into minnesota. to give you an idea, residents here got about 5 inches of rain in 3 1/2 hours. many residents here now beginning that process of assessing the damage. amy. >> so many frightening images. thank you so much, alex. unfortunately those storms aren't going away in the midwest. there are new concerns about flash flooding and ginger has been tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, amy. you get that type of event from training thunderstorms. along this stationary front as the low moves through, just north of des moines, could see more than four inches and see similar things. also, we're watching in galveston, texas, it looks very tropical because it is. we've got a ton of rain. more than seven inches already in beaumont. 3 to 5, 10 could fall in that same area tortured by harvey. michael. >> all right, thank you, ginger.
7:15 am
we're going to go overseas now, to new developments, following the president's historic summit with kim jong-un, he's visiting china this morning. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. kim is back on the world stage after that major debut in singapore with president trump, kim's third visit to china in recent months, north korea's key ally and main source of trade. overnight, new video of a motorcade on the streets of beijing believed to be kim jong-un in china. kim meeting with china's president reportedly briefing him on the historic meeting with president trump just last week. among the few concrete agreements made during that summit? the consolation of the so-called war games. >> i wanted to stop the war games, i thought they were very provocative but i also think they're very expensive. >> reporter: the pentagon and south korean military officials
7:16 am
now both confirming a joint military drill scheduled in august between south korea and the u.s. now cancelled, something both north korea and china had been asking the u.s. to do for years. kim's visit to china comes as trump threatens another round of tariffs. $200 billion worth in a brewing trade war between china and the u.s. guys. >> martha, we're hearing the president announcing he's ordered the creation of a space force. tell us about that. >> exactly. you know the air force handles space right now but the president says he wants the pentagon to begin the process of forming a sixth branch of the military space command. let's listen. >> when it comes to defending america, it's not enough to have an american presence in space. we must have american dominance in space. so important. we are going to have the air
7:17 am
force and we're going to have the space force. separate but equal. >> reporter: in a purely military sense, a space force would oversee the war fighting domain of space with satellites and new technologies but president trump can't do this on his own. he needs congress, amy. >> all right, martha, thank you. >> martha has covered many wars but i don't think we've sent her to space yet. she would be game. thank you, martha. we'll come back down to earth and talk about a man who's putting fast in fast food. take a look at 19-year-old chick-fil-a employee jared wilson, he's noticed one of the customers drove off without part of their order. but have no fear, he chased them down. made sure they had everything they ordered. and talk about dedication. the video viewed by millions of
7:18 am
people. he said, i knew i probably could catch the customer so i figured i might as well give it a shot. you know how many times i walked out of there without my sauce? come on, jared. >> i wouldn't chase after you. you can turn around. of course, i would. let's turn back to ginger. more dangerous heat today. ginger. >> charleston, south carolina, to richmond, virginia, under a heat advisory. look at some of those feels like this afternoon. 105, columbia, south carolina. your local weather in 30 seconds as we sweat here with this one.

7:32 am
michael, and this move has stunned many in and out of the medical community. some saying it's about time we recognize the intense pull of video games given the science that shows there could be some addictive nature to them. others are wondering whether disorder is going a little too far. they're everywhere. on your tv, your computer, even on your phone. while video games seem close to becoming our new national pastime, this morning the world health organization raising a red flag, for the first time adding gaming disorder to their list of addictive activities, likening it to other disorders. chris davis, a dad of four, said he was addicted to video games. at one point spending up to 18 hours a day playing in his basement. after therapy and 90-day detox he's now in recovery, saying learning to set boundaries helped his family. >> i'm a year better, a father, more involved in my marriage.
7:33 am
it's been a good year. here's looking forward to the next. >> reporter: the w.h.o. says video games can become addictive when gamers aren't able to control how much they play, impacting their lives for 12 months or more. >> a lot of people use games for recreationally, educational purposes but for a subset of people this becomes compulsive and really addictive. >> reporter: an estimated 60% of americans play video games every day with 2.6 billions gamers across the globe. but only 3% of them are affected by the disorder. leading some experts to caution that the new classification may lead to a possible misdiagnosis of mental health conditions like depression, anxiety and stress. the international game developers association say, there are serious and troubling consequences of w.h.o.'s creation of a gaming disorder. when games are used as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety
7:34 am
and depression, adding that science and common sense around how video games are played supports the conclusion that individual crow games are not addictive. now, some medical experts also question the wisdom of classifying gaming as an addiction. some say that it may open the floodgates and the weaken the subset. but that father of four begs to differ, he had to work to kick his addiction. he said his marriage is finally back on track and he's feeling healthier after rehab. in his case, there was really something going on. >> good for him that he took care of it. deborah, stick around. we'll bring in dr. dave anderson from the child mind institute. dr. anderson, thank you for how big of a deal is this? this has now been classified as a mental health disorder. if you have children out there how concerned should you be? >> right, i mean, this is not without some level of
7:35 am
controversy. the diagnostic criteria are still very stringent. they require 12 months of addictive behavior around games before you can get the diagnosis. but it represents a campaign by parents worldwide to bring attention to a problem that they see in their children, spending a lot more time on games than they should be. >> how do you know what's a lot of time? how do you know my child has a problem? >> in terms of what parents should be concerned with games, we think about age and what they're doing socially on it. there are stringent guidelines for kids under 6 around screen exposure. as far as time spent, face to face interactions with friends or making sure the kids are engaged in sports or exercise. >> and deborah, there's some technology out there that helps you monitor how much time you're are responding on devices. >> we're talking social media. we have teenagers, we know they're glued. believe it or not, google is actually announcing that it's going to come up with new
7:36 am
features to help you monitor, maybe limit your screen time. apple with its new update is actually going to have an app called screen time to help the user monitor. not necessarily suggesting an addiction but suggesting that some people might be spending too much time. >> if you're, doc, and you have a problem, what is some of your best advice for kicking the addiction? >> right, that's the thing. what technology companies are doing, now, the acknowledgment of gaming disorder allow parents more of an opportunity to seek treatments for these things or perhaps find a clinician to specialize in this. in terms of what parents can do, a lot of this is setting boundaries from the start. it's making sure you have boundaries around the time you spend as a family or the amount of time you want your child to spend at night, making sure they still have time for homework. watch ute for the red flags that are always there, anxiety and depression. whether a child cope by retreating into gaming. >> in my case, just yanking that phone from time to time. locking it up, yanking that
7:37 am
phone, just making sure they're aware you're watching. >> not the popular parent. but you're doing the right thing. it's not always the kid with the problem but the parent with the problem as we saw in that piece. i want to thank you both. very important message this morning. thank you both very much. back to you, david. >> deborah, you want to yank my phone? okay, coming up here on "good morning america," more on that alarming video, a toddler climbing up a locked security ladder, nearly reaching that above-ground pool. it's a new warning for everyone and this was really alarming when we saw it. come on back. e and this was really alarming when we saw it. come on back. bring history back to life. to recreate historical sites, we had to stitch hundreds of pictures one by one. with microsoft ai, we are able to stitch hundreds of thousands of pictures in one night. i need to make it possible, because it's so important to do it. with artificial intelligence you can go in, you can experience it.

[ applause ] hello. >> hello, my dear. >> tell us about what this study found. >> this is a study that appeared in jama pediatrics. it surveyed over 4400 kids and their care givers about the use of alternative supplements and vitamin use. over a time period they found that over a third of teens and children are taking something, but the use of alternative treatments like body building supplements has doubled and that is a concern, something that we're keeping our eye on. >> we want to poll our audience, do children in your family take vitamins or supplements. you have a push pad there.
8:16 am
vote now and we basically have instant results. they're popping up right now. look at this. it's about half. a little over half, right now 56% of our audience say children and their families take vitamins and supplements. what do you want to say to those people in terms of the risks? >> first of all, it's not a surprise. a lot of adults take those supplements and children learn from us and we pass that along. >> this is the big catch. >> my feeling just for -- just not for kids but with anything we have to broaden our scope here to include the use of over the counter supplements, multi-vitamins. you have to weigh benefits and risks. you can't say, well, because i take this it's safe for my 5-year-old or my 13-year-old. you have to weigh those risks versus benefit and what is your advice if you have a child or a teen on a supplement when you're weighing those risks and
8:17 am
benefits? what's your advice to families out there? >> what's interesting with this study, amy, is there were gender differences here. teen girls were more likely to take calcium which can have side effects. number one, your senses, look, ask, listen. ask your child if they are teenagers especially what are you taking. discuss any of this with his/her pediatrician. obviously it is always best -- we say this over and over again. get these sources from real foods. that goes for adults as well. it's much better than getting it out of a jar unless you have been specifically advised to take a supplement by a health care provider, get it from the food sources. you absorb it better, it's safer and overall that's the way we should be living. >> right. we should be eating what our body needs. >> be careful with the ones that look like candies.

8:20 am
we're going to talk to them in a moment, but first, take a look at how their movement began. >> to those politicians supported by the nra who allow the continued slaughtered of our children i say get your resumes ready. >> reporter: he's become one of the most prominent gun control advocates, a role david hogg took up after he and his younger sister lauren survived that devastating shoot shooting. >> we heard more gunshots and that's when we realized this was not a drill. >> reporter: 17 people would lose their lives that day at marjory stoneman douglas high school. it was the next morning david hog would get onto his bike and go on national tv pleading for this. >> we're children, you guys are the adults. you need to take some action. >> reporter: refusing to let the world forget, hogg and his fellow student activists formed march for our lives. demanding that their voices be heard, demanding stricter gun control laws. but the students have also become part of the particularizing political
8:21 am
debate on gun control. some have become targets of conspiracy theories. some describing them as paid crises actors coached by left wing financial backers. but david and his sister lauren remain undeterred, dismissing their critics, instead focusing on the future. >> we can and we will change the world. >> i'm here now with david and lauren hogg who together with march for their lives started their tour to register people all over the country. they've co-written a book together called "brother -- never again." welcome to "good morning america." i wanted to start with you, wel america." i wanted to start with you, david, we saw that moment play on national television, the shooting took place, you were all in the middle of incredible did stress and yet you got on your bike that morning and you stood in front of that camera and made that plea.
8:22 am
what kicked in inside of you? what made you get on that bike and do that? >> essentially, what happened after the shooting occurred, later that day once i made sure my family was all home, because i was at school and i went home, and my sister and my father and my mother were finally at home and i knew that they were okay and safe. i couldn't stand to be around listening to my sister crying so much knowing that she had lost four friends and knowing that if i did nothing this would continue to happen. i felt i had to speak up on the issues at hand. my education from speech and debate, debating these topics through that amazing program. i felt a need to speak up for those who couldn't at the time so they could eventually when the time came around they could wipe away their tears and create a clear vision for the future.
8:23 am
>> and be buoyed by your skills in a way that worked. lauren, you both lost people you knew but you lost friends. when you saw brother stand up, what did you think? >> i was so proud. so many of my friends much like me at the very beginning couldn't speak for ourselves. we continue do it. i was so proud to turn on the tv and see my brother and see all our friends come together and be the voice that friends who passed away could have had if they were still here. i just felt so empowered and proud. >> for a lot of people watching at home, this puts this in perspective, even for the people here in the audience. neither of you were alive during columbine, you lived through sandy hook. i know that you talked with a columbine survivor not long ago and there was something that survivor said that stuck with you. >> a week after the shooting i met with a columbine survivor, she said, i'm so sorry but you're part of this club now, you're part of this club that
8:24 am
everybody is part of that's affected by gun violence. you're not going to be able to get out but we're going to have to work hard to make sure nobody else has to join this club. >> david, i know you heard this often. there are people who believe that you're infringing upon their second amendment rights with this movement. what would you say to them as on opening to a dialogue to bridge the divide? >> i'd say back a couple decades ago, where you could smoke everywhere and people were getting cancer from secondhand smoke, even if they didn't smoke, they implemented regulations that made it so you didn't inflict those people around you by doing that. but people can still smoke. they made it so that not as many people can drink and drive. they raised the aiming to 21. but you can still drink. i think in the same way we can have those regulations, we can have regulations like universal
8:25 am
background checks and commonsense gun laws that can save lives and save our future and our kids. >> you're not asking to take guns away, you're asking for universal background checks. you've dealt with the names, the speary theories, people saying you're a paid crisis actor. there's one that we're the same people. >> this is proof that we're not. you have much better hair. but in dealing with sort of what's come at you, you can handle the namecalling. i'm curious what it says about the country we're in right now, is there a lesson in that you can offer to others? how to change it, how to bring people together. >> i think for everybody -- i spent father's day, march for our lives was in ferguson, missouri with mike brown's father. close your eyes and imagine the person closest to, imagine the person you hold so close, now imagine losing that person as a result of gun violence.
8:26 am
this country, regardless of what's happening, regardless of who it's happening to, needs to practice empathy and understand, regardless of where you come from and who you are, suffering is the same. at the end of the day we cry the same tears and bleed the same blood. we're all human beings. we need to treat each other as such and people each other in different people's shoes. >> lauren, the last question, people are so polarized on so many issues, this is just one of them, do you believe there's common ground in this country? >> i absolutely do. i think no matter whether you're democrat or republican, like david said, we all bleed the same blood, we all cry, we all have children, something that we can find common ground on. just our common share of love. >> lauren, david, thank you for being here. the book is "never again." we'll be back with more conversation. conversation.

8:37 am
simply because sometimes things are just yours. >> one thing we can trust is that you always put out great work. you always do. [ applause ] "yellowstone" is no exception. >> "yellowstone" turned out better -- i wanted it to be good. i never start anything that i don't think has a chance to be great and "yellowstone" was all of that. i hope you do check it out. i hope you see this beautiful place in montana, it still exists. there was a moment in america's history where it was the garden of eden. when you see those mountains you'll understand why. >> "yellowstone" premiers tomorrow night on paramount network. kevin, thank you so much for coming here with us. we appreciate that. coming up, that bachelor in paradise surprise. one of the most shocking engagements ever. we have all the details coming up next. one of the most shocking engagements ever. we have all the details coming up next.
