vigil and why she's now facing charges. new overnight. leaving "the talk." host julie chen, the wife of fired cbs executive les moonves, now set to leave her show today, as her husband faces sexual misconduct allegations. and a marvelous night for "mrs. maisel" at the emmys. "game of thrones" reigning supreme. and henry winkler, the fonz, taking home a trophy more than 40 years in the making. but the biggest winner of them all -- >> i want to call you my wife. >> what the couple at the center of this show-stopping moment is telling "gma" backstage. >> good morning, america! we're engaged. and we do say good morning, america. wasn't that such a sweet moment? oh, such a talented couple, as well. >> yep. they met working on the tonys.

they have been together for more than a decade. she says she had no idea that that was coming. you can tell. can't wait to hear what they told lara backstage. >> she may not have had a choice. she seemed to enjoy it a lot. we eat -- we'll get to that later. we begin with the supreme court showdown. the president's nominee, brett kavanaugh, and his accuser, both invited to testify on monday. everything on the line for kavanaugh. a huge test for president trump. terry moran starts us off from the supreme court. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic moments in a washington hearing room in decades. both judge brett kavanaugh, and his accuser, christine blasey ford called to testify before the senate judiciary committee, in public, under oath. judge kavanaugh has accepted the invitation. they're waiting to hear formally from blasey ford.

should it happen this will boil down to her word against his, a credibility contest. supreme court nominee judge brett kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual assault decades ago have been called to testify publicly before lawmakers next monday, delaying a key vote on kavanaugh. and the future of the high court. while president trump defended his nominee on monday -- >> he's one of the great intellects and one of the finest people that anybody has known. >> reporter: -- he also uncharacteristically called for patience. >> they'll go through a process and hear everybody out. i think it's important. if it takes a little delay, it will take a little delay. >> reporter: one republican senator says kavanaugh's accuser deserves to be heard. he wouldn't have voted for kavanaugh otherwise. >> i insisted we not have a vote. i would have voted no this week absent her being able to tell her story. so i'm glad she's going to be able to. >> reporter: kavanaugh's accuser, christine blasey ford, a psychology professor at

california seen here in this yearbook photo from the period she claimed he assaulted her told "the washington post" kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her. when she tried to yell, he clapped his hand over her mouth to silence her. he was trying to attack me and remove my clothing, she says. adding, i thought he might inadvertently kill me. she said she managed to escape. he's categorically denied the allegations. she alleges the assault happened while kavanaugh attended an elite eli elite boy's school in maryland, georgetown preparatory school. it bills itself as america's oldest catholic boarding school. allies of kavanaugh released statements from former girlfriends. maura fitzgerald said he was always a perfect gentleman, and i vouch for him completely. this morning, a number of women who attended ford's school,

holton-arms support blasey ford. her experience is all too consistent with stories we heard and lived while attending holton. actress julia louis-dreyfus saying, i was class of 1979 and signed the letter. another alum says she believes blasey ford. >> i just want to say to her, to dr. ford, that we have your back. and, i think that's very much the holton-arms way. >> reporter: blasey ford has told friends she's been trying to forget this incident her whole life, according to a story in the local newspaper. she's bracing for attacks on her credibility. she also says, the newspaper says, that she was inspired to come forward this summer by all the women who have done so in the me too movement. >> thank you, terry. let's bring in dan abrams and sunny aghostin.ed to testy formally.

democrats a are saying you have to have an fbi examination before a public hearing, say the democrats. why is that important? >> they want the fbi to follow leads. they want to talk to witnesses. et cetera. the fbi is not investigating a crime here. the fbi is effectively doing a background check. what the democrats want is, that investigation to continue. and, the issue's going to be, does that investigation move forward? do they spend a lot more time on that? or does it become a question of watching him testify again and potentially her. >> you think she has no choice. >> she has no choice. she has to testify. i think it's very important that the background check continue. when i was a federal prosecutor, i was looking at a three-year appointment. this is a lifetime appointment. thfbi wen interviewed my neighbors. i hadn't lived there since i was 16 years old, george. this is a very, very serious background investigation that needs to continue.

>> one of the points that republican defenders of kavanaugh is making is that he's had the background checks several times and this never came up. >> yes, but this is also different. this is also different. this is a lifetime appointment to the supreme court. character matters. and this woman's bravery, i think, coming forward, is extremely important. to those people i keep hearing saying this happened in high school. he was only 17. guess what? in maryland and states all across the country, for sexual assault, we do criminalize 16-year-olds. you can go to prison for that. >> this gelt -- gets to the question, if this happens on monday, they're both out there. they both tell their story to the country, what will be the standard of proof for kavanaugh? >> i think sunny is right. the notion that you can dismiss this and say it happened 35 years ago, what the standard is going to be is, today, do they believe kavanaugh is telling the truth? he's the one up there. the one up for the appointment.

the one accused. and he's going to be the one they're focusing on in terms of his credibility. do they believe he's telling the truth? and, remember, unlike in a trial, where you're told, do not read things. do not let people affect your opinion. here, public opinion is going to matter enormously as to whether they believe him and do they believe her? >> flip that around, sunny. if they both testify to vote for kavanaugh, you have to, at some level, be saying she's not telling the truth. >> you must disbelieve her. exactly. i think she's very much on trial here. i have interviewed hundreds of crime victims especially victims of sexual assault. this is one of the most difficult things they can do. this woman is not doing it in a court of law. she's doing on it the world stage. so for her to come forward and put her credibility i think on the line is extrel significant considering that we're in the me too movement right now. >> sounds like the defense here is going to be, maybe she thinks that this happened, right? maybe she believes this happened. could it have been a case of mistaken identity? could there be other explanations?

the point is exactly what happened 35 years ago. where did it happen? what was the date, et cetera, becomes less important today, i think, than simply do they think that judge kavanaugh is telling the truth. >> sounds like this will be a huge gut check for the senate and the country. >> absolutely. let's face it. on the gop side, you have older white men only. interviewing this woman. i think that that is an optic that the gop has to be very careful about. >> yes. >> we'll see. thank you both. this morning, president trump is issuing an order to declassify and release material related to the russia investigation, including former fbi director james comey's text messages. abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has more in washington. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the president has been fuming

about how the russia investigation was initially launched. so he's declassifying part of a supersecret national security warrant tied to russia. he's planning to release communications, including text messages from former officials he views as biased against him. basically, his enemies. among them, james comey, peter strzok, and lisa page. those two former fbi officials who wrote negative comments about trump during the campaign, robin. >> how are the justice department and the intelligence community and democrats responding to all of this? >> reporter: well, the release of the documents won't be immediate. the potential for tension remains between the white house and law enforcement. the justice department said last nights it has begun the process of reviewing the documents to comply with the president's order. officials there noted that the review had to ensure the safety of america's national security interests. as for democrats, adam schiff, the ranking member of the house intelligence committee, called the did he classification a clear abuse of power. the white house says the president is doing this at the request of congressional committees. this fight will continue, robin.

(becky) i started smoking now i have end-stage copd. my tip is: if you keep smoking, your freedom may only go as far as your oxygen tube. (announcer) you can quit. call 1-800-quit-now for help getting free medication. the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there... when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today.

neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. if you'd rather be home ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card. hundred roads named "park" in the u.s. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. but no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local allstate agents knows yours.

[ applause ] >> thank you. thank you. >> you saw they wanted to cheer. >> thank you. >> there's no applause sign. that came from the heart, tim. let's talk news here. because, we heard recently, we have known about the trade wars. with china. especially when it comes to tariffs. the president, president trump recently announced certain apple products will be exempt. why? >> well, you know, robin, the iphone is assembled in china, but the parts come from everywhere, and so there are components that come, including the united states, you know, the glass comes from kentucky. there are chips that come from the u.s. and of course, the research and development is all done in the united states, and so i don't want to speak for them, but i think they looked at this and said that it's not really great

for the united states to put a tariff on those type of products. >> but there's no guarantee that the chinese government won't take some kind of action at some point. and people are concerned about that and how that could possibly impact consumers. >> yeah, well, i'm optimistic. i'm optimistic. trade is one of those things where, it's not a zero sum game. you and i can trade something and we can both win. and so i'm optimistic that the two countries will sort this out. and -- life will go on. >> we're all optimistic about that. we all need that. ultimately, the consumers pay the biggest price. $1 trillion. but, tim -- what kind of responsibility comes along with that when you're of that value? the first trillion-dollar company in the country. >> from my point of view, apple

could only have been created in america. we are a deeply american company, and we feel a tremendous responsibility to help our country, and so we do that in terms of creating jobs. we have created 2 million jobs in america. we want to create even more. thank you. we're investing $350 billion in the country over the next five years. and, we're -- you know, we're starting facilities in a number of different places. we're really proud of that contribution, but we want to do more. we're out working with education. you have seen some of this. >> in alabama. >> we're trying to encourage all students to learn to code because even for those students who don't want to do computer science, it's great to know what is possible. we're encouraging public and private schools to really get coding in. >> i know. i've seen you do that in alabama, too. >> thank you. >> all right.

gotta ask about the cost. because -- one model starts at almost $1,100. are you afraid that it's -- a group of people are being priced out? >> well, we want to make an iphone for everyone. that's always been our objective. we have several iphones in the line. they go to materially lower. but if you look at this phone, it's the most advanced iphone we have ever done. it has an unbelievable camera that we'll talk about in a moment, and it has the smartest and most powerful chip ever in a smartphone, but the way most people pay for these as it turns out is they do a deal with their carrier and they pay so much per month, and so if you look at even the phone that's priced over $1,000, most people pay about $30 a month for it. it's about $1 day. if you look at it, the phone has replaced your digital camera. you don't have a separate one anymore. it's replaced your video camera

it's replaced your music player. it's replaced all the different devices. your video player. and, so, arguably, the product is really important. and we found that people want, then -- want to have the most innovative product available and, you know, with that, it's not cheap to do that. >> you said you don't necessarily want to be the biggest. you want to be the best. >> we want to be the best. that's our objective. i know other people want to sell the most. we have never been about selling the most. it's always been about selling the best. [ cheers and applause ] >> something that i normally have on. but not on the air. the apple watch. >> yeah. >> there have been advances with that. especially when dealing with the heart. the electrocardiogram reading it can do. >> the watch is the most powerful thing you can have on your wrist. we were getting notes from many

customers over the years with our previous watch that is they found they had a heart problem, and so the watch would notify them that their heart was elevated despite not currently exercising or being taxed, and they sought medical treatment and the doctor told them, hey, if you would not have sought help, you would not be here. and so, we began to research more and more what more can we do for heart health. and, with the series four later this year, we will be shipping the first over-the-counter ekg right on your wrist. [ applause ] all you do -- all you do is put your finger right on the crown and hold it for 30 seconds. and it performs an ekg.you n ah [ applause ] >> yeah. which is unbelievable. unbelievable. those of us, and i'm one of these, that have had heart issue

before. you go to the doctor. they give you a monitor the wear. what you're experiencing with your heart doesn't happen when you're wearing the monitor. the monitor expires. you go oh, my god, and it happens again. this thing is always on your wrist. it's an incredible power to have. it empowers the individual to own their health. we have fall detection. >> how does that work? >> let's say you're climbing up a ladder in the kitchen to get something off the top shelf. we have all done this. if you're by yourself and you fall this can be a devastating thing. now, the watch will detect a fall automatically. and if you don't respond within one minute, it will call 911 l? i >> i can sit here and talk. we have so many questions coming in. i want to make sure we talk about the camera aspect. i want to do that as we're walking over because we're going to have this new -- how should i

say? this new feature that we're going to discuss. like the -- you have heard about the emoji. now it's going to be the memoji. tell us first about the camera. >> the best camera we have ever had before. if you make a portrait of someone, you can change the background depth after you take the photo. >> after? >> after you take the photo. it's the most incredible thing. it really -- um, makes a portrait look like a professional photographer. you used to have to schedule these things to make photos of your kids and so forth. now in the palm of your hand, you can make a portrait that used to cost tens of thousands of dollars with special equipment. tell me about the memoji. >> this is the memoji. because the chip in the phone is

so powerful, it's looking at 50 different facial muscles. and it's performing exactly on a real-time basis what robin is doing right now. it's unbelievable. >> i know. let's put you up here. so, there -- >> oh, no, now i have you on me? wait a minute? it scared me for a moment. not that you're scary. but you are so proud of what you all have been able to do. >> i am. i am. i'm so proud of it. we find that people want to make great portraits. they want to record the moments of their life that are so important, and we want everybody to be able to do that. >> thank you, tim. >> thank you. thank you. you, tim. >> thank you. thank you.
