he said his young kids finally got to see what he could do on a golf course. this is tiger from the early 2000s. >> he toughed it out. but we do want to begin with that supreme court bombshell. "new yorker" magazine levying new sexual misconduct allegations against kavanaugh. >> kavanaugh denies the charge, and the white house is backing him up. ronan farrow who helped break the story will join us live in a moment, but first, our senior national correspondent terry moran is with us live. >> reporter: good morning, george. the brett kavanaugh nomination is on the precipice right now. polls were already showing lukewarm support for the kavanaugh nomination. now, this latest allegation is a real crisis. he of course, as you say, denies all these charges, all these stories and he says he is

determined to clear his name, and senate republicans are scrambling to deal with this latest bombshell. overnight, judge brett kavanaugh, supreme court nomination dealt another blow. a second woman, deborah ramirez, a classmate at yale accusing the embattled judge of sexual misconduct. "the new yorker" reporting she remembers kavanaugh exposed himself as a drunken dormitory party. she admits there are gaps because she had been drinking, but she remembers classmates who remember hearing about the event and kavanaugh's role, and a dispute. kavanaugh denies it saying, quote, this alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. the people who knew me then know this did not happen and have said so. this is a smear, plain and simple. in light of the claims on the senate judiciary committee, ranking democrat on the committee, senator dianne feinstein is calling for an immediate postponement of any proceedings with brett kavanaugh. that could include thursday's

an tis pate e -- anticipated te from christine blasey ford. feinstein is asking this be referred to the fbi for investigation, and that chairman chuck grassley join the democrats' quest into blasey ford's claims as well. she says she was assaulted in high school in 1982. kavanaugh categorically denies it. grassley made that letter public overnight. in it, blasey ford writes, kavanaugh was on top of me. kavanaugh tried to disrobe me. with kavanaugh's hand over my mouth, i feared he may inadvertently kill me. blasey ford agreed to testify despite the fact that she didn't get all that she asked for in lengthy negotiations. she insisted kavanaugh testify first. she, second. >> she will be treated fairly, but we won't turn the hearings over to her lawyers and we'll

see. >> reporter: the committee call other witnesses including the polygraph examiner who conducted her lie detector test and mark judge who she claims was present during the alleged attack. >> i think the republicans have shown their uneasiness with their own defense by refusing to allow mark judge to testify. >> reporter: it's hard to say now whether that hearing tentatively scheduled for thursday can go forward. the senate republicans have said that the judiciary committee will conduct some kind of investigation into this latest allegation and any others that may emerge. >> ronan farrow joins us now. thank you for joining us this morning. want to start off by putting kavanaugh's denial back up on the screen right now. the alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. the people who knew me then say that this did not happen and said so. this is a smear, plain and simple. that denial is blunt and unequivocal. your response? >> obviously, we inside that in the "new yorker" piece and

give him a full and fair window for comment and include rebuttals. those rebuttals are significant. the white house has a huge megaphone on this, and there is a coalition of former yale students working with brett kavanaugh's office. a number of them signed onto this article pushing back against miss ramirez's claim, which brett kavanaugh's office seemed surprised by and we have then redacted the names of those individuals at their request, because they were alleged to be involved. the point i want to make here is this. it's not accurate to say those who knew him at the time dispute this. we talked to a roommate who said he was indeed frequently drunk and that he took part in activity that made him not surprised of this claim and found this woman credible. we wouldn't run this if we didn't have people who heard at the time and found her credible. >> but by your own admission, no eyewitnesss of the incident?

>> absolutely, and we disclosed that up front and she was inebriated at the time, and i think she took several days to consider and really carefully make sure she had an evidentiary basis, and this speaks a level of caution. this is not the behavior of somebody fabricating something. >> this jumped out at me. you said at first she wasn't sure this was kavanaugh last week, and you write after six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorneys she did become confident that it was him. >> george, i would say that's extremely typical with these stories when you are dealing with drama and alcohol. the more caution that i have dealt with in cases like this frequently say, i want to take time to decide and search myself and make sure that i can affirmatively stand by these claims in the face of what she knew would be a crucible of

partisan pushback which is what she is receiving now. >> why did she come forward? >> she came forward because senate democrats began looking at this claim. she did not flag this. this came to the attention of people on the hill independently, and it has really cornered her into an awkward position. she said, point-blank, i don't want to ruin anyone's life, but she feels this is a serious claim. she considers her own memories credible and she felt it was important that she tell her story before others did for her. >> you point out the students at the time who back up claims about kavanaugh's behavior. at the time several others in the article say they have never heard anything like this at all, even someone who professed to be her best friend at the time. you're writing this story this close to the nomination. did you want to push the pause button and say, are you sure this is the right thing to do? >> i want to stress very clearly.

we take reporting of this type extremely serious. the evidentiary basis of this, and the number of witnesses at the time is strong. the deal with sexual assault claims is very often that there aren't multiple people willing to say they witnessed it in the room, and the individuals who were most primary to this are people she alleged were egging brett kavanaugh on, and those were the ones that signed that statement you saw. >> you write that the republican staffers learned of this allegation last week. last night, i spoke with the senate gop leadership quite late night who said, no one here was told about the ongoing efforts on this allegation. are you confident the republicans were told? >> he may be accurate in that phrasing that they weren't told about the ongoing activities as moment to moment happening on the democratic side, but they

were indeed aware of an allegation and were concerned about it and reached out to us about that. >> you were worried that some senators wanted to rush the hearing? >> we don't draw a causal link. we're not inside those conversations and the republicans' senators offices. all we can say is we heard that concern and there was an effort to accelerate this process. >> what does deborah ramirez want to happen next? >> her attorney is a former d.a. and says she is incredible a witness as anybody, and they want an fbi investigation. she wants this to proceed carefully. she would like that caution to continue. she wants to be fair to brett kavanaugh. in many statements she said to me. >> ronan farrow, thank you very much. >> thank you. let's turn to the white house for the president's response to all of this. our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl is there. jon, a forceful reaction from the white house overnight. >> reporter: all indications are that the white house is standing by the president's nominee for the supreme court.

officials who i have spoken to since the story broke call the allegation specious and unfounded and shortly after the story broke, they put out a very strong statement saying, quote, it is a coordinated smear campaign by democrats designed to tear down a good man. the white house stands firmly behind judge kavanaugh. so at this point, the indications are that the president himself is standing by his nominee and the white house is preparing to fight to defend this nomination. >> they certainly seem to be doing that on those allegations by blasey ford. jon, the president had been sticking to the script showing some uncharacteristic restraint on that one until, of course, that tweet on friday that really set off a firestorm. >> reporter: absolutely, except for one tweet on friday, the president has been remarkably restrained on this. in fact, over the weekend he gave an interview saying, quote, let her have her voice, speaking of dr. blasey ford. let him say whatever he wants to say, and in the end, the senators will make a choice. but as you point out, it has not

been total restraint. that tweet on friday, the president went after blasey ford and he said, if this had happened, she would have immediately filed a police report and demanded to see that. that prompted a #whyididntreport with many victims sharing their stories, explaining why they were too frightened to come out and say publicly what happened. >> jon karl at the white house, thank you. george? let's bring in our legal team, dan abrams and sunny hostin. a lot coming at us at the same time. dan, you go first. we had these new allegations coming in. the hearing is set for thursday. what should happen now? >> well, look, i don't think that this new allegation is going to make or break the nomination. the question is going to be, are there enough to either say we have got to pause this, we have got to withdraw this or at least we have to ask for an fbi investigation. that's why it becomes important to know, what does michael avenatti have?

he is an attorney who says he has another person, not ramirez, not dr. ford, who is ready to come forward and make some sort of allegation. the problem in these cases for the person accused is that the minute there is an allegation made, a lot of the time other allegations come forward, and if this ends up being a situation where you have multiple allegations, that makes it harder and harder to defend. >> sunny, you have prosecuted sex crimes cases. ronan was talking about how very often witnesses want to take their time before they come forward. >> sure, they want to take their time. that's why attempted rape, sexual assault crimes are the least reported in our country. they are underreported because women feel they will not be believed and they will be blamed. they are embarrassed and they feel they brought it onto themselves. bottom line here, george, this is a job for the federal bureau of investigation because they are professional investigators. isn't it remarkable that ronan farrow is doing the job of the fbi? now you have another person

coming forward saying -- describing behavior i think that is pretty consistent with dr. ford's. drunken behavior leading to errant sexual behavior. that is a pattern. why wouldn't the judiciary committee want an investigation? they are not in the business of investigating. they are in the business of appointing, you know -- appointing and clearing supreme court nominees. this is a farce. our country needs to feel comfortable with the supreme court justices' character. there is no confidence. >> let's get to a point of why didn't they find this until now, right? why does it have to be the ronan farrow? >> he has done background investigations for every job. >> that's not unusual. women do not report and do not come forward. now that you have these credible allegations -- i believe they are credible in my experience, you have got to investigate. >> and what should be the proper standard of proof here? it's not beyond a reasonable

doubt. >> this isn't a legal proceeding and it will be the civil standard of more likely than not, but then you have to throw a dose of politics into it, and, you know, the legal standard kind of goes out the window. >> it's going to be quite a week. thank you very much. amy? we're switching gears now and going to tiger woods' comeback. the greatest golfer of a generation returning to the top winning his first tournament in more than five years, overcoming serious injuries and personal setbacks to take home that huge win. abc's t.j. holmes is here with the story. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning, robach. he has won so much in his career and then he took a personal fall from grace, and a professional fall from greatness, the likes of which we have never seen before. we didn't know if he would ever win again, but yesterday was throwback sunday. >> for tiger. >> the tap-in. we thought we'd never see it.

>> reporter: tiger woods is back. an incredible scene sunday as the golf phenom turned golf legend captured his first pga win since 2013. >> you can see the emotion pouring out of him. you know how big this was for him. it's been a long, long drought. >> reporter: the victory was his 80th on the pga tour, and few looked and felt like this one. a rowdy crowd of spectators scrambled behind tiger as he made his walk to the 18th hole for his final putt, his victory at that point already assured. after raising both arms in the air in celebration, he fell into the arms of his girlfriend, erica herman. tiger took a fall from grace after that explosive sex scandal in 2009. >> i had affairs. i cheated. >> reporter: then, a fall from the golf world after a series of back injuries left him almost immobile at times.

>> i was beyond playing. i couldn't sit. i couldn't walk. i couldn't lay down without feeling the pain in my back and my leg. so, you know, that was a pretty low point for a very long time. >> reporter: there was also this dui arrest last summer which he blamed on the cocktail of medications he was prescribed. his rise and fall now sunday's victory redemption that many, including tiger at times, didn't think was possible. >> just to be able to compete and play again this year, that's a hell of a comeback. >> reporter: all right, and you were just saying, george. he has had seven top ten finishes this year. he is getting closer and closer and he finally got over the hump. his kids are 9 and 10 now. they have only known daddy and golf with pain, and now this year is the first time they can see him be the champion. >> i love the rowdy golf crowd. never see that. >> yeah.

golf is a very calm sport, is it not? >> not yesterday. let's go over to ginger with the flooding and evacuations under way in south carolina. >> more than 8,000 homes evacuated just yesterday in south carolina. you can see the homes here that have been surrounded by water. this is a week and a half after florence, and still the effects being felt. the river expected to crest this wednesday through the end of the week and we have a slow-moving system bringing flash flooding from kentucky and tennessee right through west virginia. wish we could take that water and push it to the west because that charlie fire burning 300 acres, and some seeing less than 2% humidity. the select cities now brought to you by walgreens.

bennett says his escort decided to leave them alone and that's when he says argento offered him champagne, pushed him onto the bed and assaulted him. according to bennett, argento asked him to take a photo of them after they had sex, which he says he did. tmz published the photo. argento was 37 while bennett was 17, younger than california's age of consent. when the italian host expressed his doubt about bennett's story, bennett says he chose to be silent until now because he was worried people would think he wasn't sincere. >> take me home! >> reporter: argento first met bennett when he was just 7 years old playing her son in a film. just days ago, her lawyer fired

>> that never happens in my house. we have a lot of news to get to. we'll get to the supreme court bombshell. a new accuser has come forward. the sexual misconduct allegations against nominee brett kavanaugh, so let's go straight back to terry moran at the supreme court. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. now it's they say/he said. two women have now come forward publicly now to accuse brett kavanaugh of sexual misconduct decades ago. back in high school and college. he adamantly denies it. the white house is standing by him, but right now this is a nomination in crisis. overnight, judge brett kavanaugh's supreme court nomination dealt another blow. a second woman, deborah ramirez, kavanaugh's classmate at yale, accusing the embattled judge of sexual misconduct. "the new yorker" reporting she remembers kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party. >> she came forward because senate democrats began looking at this claim. she did not flag this for those

democrats. it came to the attention of the people on the hill independently, and it cornered her into an awkward position. that's why she took the time to think about this. she said point-blank, i don't want to ruin anyone's life, and she considers this a serious claim and her own memories credible. she felt it was important that she tell her story before others did without her consent. >> reporter: ramirez admits there are some gaps in her memory due to the fact she had been drinking. but "the new yorker" spoke with other classmates who remember hearing about the event and kavanaugh's role in it, and some who dispute ramirez's account. kavanaugh denies it saying, quote, this alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. the people who knew me then know this did not happen and have said so. this is a smear, plain and simple. the white houswas also quick to react as the spokesman called it a coordinated smear campaign, by democrats to tear down a good man, and stating the white house

stands firmly behind judge kavanaugh. in light of the new claims ranking members are asking for postponement of the nomination hearings, and they are also asking that this new allegation be referred to the fbi for investigation and that chairman chuck grassley join the democrats' quest to look into blasey ford's claims as well. last week, there was a sense here in washington that kavanaugh's nomination could survive the allegation as long as other accusers didn't emerge. that political calculus is going to be tested this week, george. >> terry, thanks very much. cecilia? let's turn to the record flooding in the carolinas. the effects of florence wreaking havoc on south carolina. thousands of people told to leave their homes as floodwaters move in. let's go back to ginger with the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, cecilia. it is so hard to imagine being one of the families in these homes.

[ laughter ] and then another one said, are you married? i said, no, but i have been with the same girl for, like, 30 years. she goes, why don't you propose to her then? then another little girl said, you should get her a ring because you ain't that special. >> whoa.

>> out of the mouth of babes. >> it's unbelievable. i like them because they didn't respect me. i like that. >> you also love animals and apparently they love you. i showed the picture. yesterday in the park, you met my dog, cooper. >> i love cooper. we go to the park every day. if we're in london, we go just to meet dogs, and they are such a joy. you can't see your angry little dachshund. >> daisy's not nice. >> it wasn't you. it was her. >> i know. >> so, who is harder to manage? a group of dogs in the park, a group of children or adults at the golden globes? >> you have to get their attention at the golden globes. as long as i can pick on one of them. then they listen. they're great, yeah. the golden globes, there you go.

oh, who cares? look at them all. look at them all. they are asking for it with their good skin and hair. >> doesn't sound like you would do it again. >> i might. i might. i did it four times, but yeah. i might one day. i would i think. it's fun. it's a fun three hours. it's funny to be the most feared person in the room. >> you're also very funny on social media. in fact, we just saw a post where you tend to troll your girlfriend a little bit or at least make fun of her on social media. >> yeah. >> we have a picture of it. the caption says jane having a little get together in the garden. what does she think? >> i see her going for a walk and i take a sneaky picture of her alone and i tweet, jane with all her friends. >> does she laugh too? >> eventually. >> you mentioned you have been there 30 years, right? >> yeah. >> since college? >> yeah.

>> what does she say it's like living with you or being with you for these three decades? >> she would say she is the luckiest woman in the world. >> that's what i thought you would say. [ applause ] >> you have a new standup special on netflix right now called "humanity." you talk about animals. >> i never understood animal cruelty, and i spend most of my time on twitter trying to stop this or that, and that's the great thing about social media is you can change the law because you sign petitions and i have never understood it. i absolutely love animals. it's a privilege. we haven't got a dog because we travel too much, and i have a cat. if the cat sits on you, you can't move. so the other one has to get up and get the drinks. so we try and lure the cat onto our lap. >> you have a comedy special, "humanity." it's on netflix right now. it's your first one in seven

years? >> yeah. that just sort of happened because things come along, you know, and it wasn't the conscious decision, but now i always thought standup was the second thing i did, you know. i would write and direct tv or films or whatever, but now after doing this tour -- i did a world tour and it went on netflix, i think standup is my main thing now because it's such a privilege to go out there and say what you want, you know? >> is it the hardest thing you do though? that's what people always say is there is nothing harder than standup. >> well, except that you know whether it went well or not straight away because they laugh or -- they pick your best hour for you. if you do 50 shows by the end, it's a perfect hour. it's the same everywhere. >> do you change it up a lot? >> it evolves. you get everything better and then, you know, after a few shows, it just flies. >> do you have a joke that always works? >> yeah, but i can't tell it here. >> not for morning television.

all right. >> thank you for coming. all of you can see "child support" and it premieres october 5th at 9:00. when we come back, w

your bling. some bedecked with feathers. others clinging to your own lashes with magnets. and the lure offers customized design eyelashes. >> it adds that cat eye. >> reporter: founding the company when she couldn't find a perfect fit. >> when i was in university, i truly had a false lash addiction, back then nothing was available. it was very synthetic and it felt uncomfortable and looked fake on my eyes. >> reporter: when beyonce's team took notice, business took off. >> there was actually a celebrity makeup artist and she was the makeup artist of beyonce and she got interviewed by "people" magazine and the headline was beyonce buys valor. that was, like, our goal. when we launched this, we were, like, this is real. we are solving a problem for most women when it comes to lashes. >> reporter: for "good morning america," marci gonzalez, abc news, new york. >> did i just hear false lash
