nothing but good words for you to today. >> welcome back, kendis. it's good to see you. good morning, erielle. if president trump goes through with shutting down the southern border, it would likely have a bigger impact on legal crossings and commerce than illegal but it hasn't stopped the president from campaigning on what he's calling a winning issue for republicans. president trump rallied his supporters in montana threatening to take swift action against a caravan of migrants from central america. >> i'm willing to send the military to defend our southern border if necessary because of the illegal immigration onslaught. >> reporter: it's a potential showdown at the u.s./mexico border. the president promising to shut it down to stop 3,000 hondurans, many fleeing violence and poverty. the mexican government sent two plane loads of federal police to its border with guatemala to intercept the caravan. >> i just want to thank the mexican government because they're stopping it hopefully before it ever gets to mexico. >> reporter: also overnight secretary of state mike pompeo

touched down in mexico city. >> it's important that we secure our borders and the president has not only the state department and dhs but others working to achieve that goal. >> reporter: his tour to improve relations and work on the issues that drive so many migrants north comes as the president threatened to cut aid to honduras, guatemala and el salvador if they don't stop their citizens. immigration a campaign issue for the president who says it energizes his base but democrats say it's backfiring. at the white house thursday a boiling point. sources say immigration sparked an expletive-laced shouting match between john kelly and national security adviser john bolton. white house press secretary sarah sanders said in a statement while people in the administration are passionate about solving illegal immigration, they're not angry at each other. expect to hear a lot more from the president on immigration ahead of the november midterm elections. erielle, kendis. >> high stakes in those midterm elections, indeed. kenneth, thank you. president trump is under

fire for making light of an attack on a reporter. his comments coming amid global outrage over the apparent killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. during last night's campaign rally, the president praised a montana congressman for assaulting a reporter last year. that attack made national headlines. >> any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind. but i had heard that he body slammed a reporter. he was way up, and i said, oh, this was like the day of the election or just before. and i said, oh, this is terrible. he's going to lose the election then i said, well, wait a minute, i know montana pretty well. i think it might help him and it did. >> the congressman has since apologized to the reporter pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to community service. "the guardian" newspaper where that reporter works fired back saying we hope decent people will denounce these comments and that the president will see fit to apologize for them. in the meantime, we are learning more about jamal khashoggi's alleged murder and

the growing potential for a full-blown diplomatic crisis with the key ally, saudi arabia. the secretary of state, mike pompeo, speaking overnight. abc's molly hunter joins us from istanbul, turkey, where the investigation is ramping up. good morning, molly. >> reporter: kendis, good morning. that's right. so overnight a blockbuster leak from the turks to abc news. this as more boxes of evidence were taken out of the consulate behind me as we're learning more grisly details about this apparent murder. new details this morning about what may have happened to "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. a senior turkish official tells abc news that secretary of state mike pompeo has heard an alleged audio recording and was given a transcript of khashoggi's murder inside the saudi consulate. but overnight pompeo denied that report saying i've heard no tape. i've seen no transcript. earlier pompeo briefed president trump advising the president to give the saudis just a few more days to investigate. >> they also assured me that

they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation. >> reporter: but amnesty international for one says it makes no sense to trust an investigation led by the very government suspected of the murder. >> we cannot trust the saudi authorities to be conducting this investigation. >> reporter: khashoggi, a critic of the saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman, has not been seen since october 2nd when he walked into the saudi consulate here in istanbul. turkish officials also tell abc news they believe he was killed after a struggle that lasted eight minutes and that he died of strangulation. turkish media have published these surveillance photos of the man they say is the head of the saudi hit squad and was at the consulate just before khashoggi disappeared and then left istanbul that night. it's the same man "the new york times" named as maher abdulaziz mutreb. "the times" reported he had previously traveled with the saudi crown prince to the u.s. president trump is now conceding that khashoggi is likely dead. >> it certainly looks that way

to me. it's very sad. >> reporter: now, guys, the president was also asked about possible consequences for the saudis and he said it will have to be very severe. this is bad, bad stuff. kendis, erielle. >> and they are our key ally so we'll see how it all plays out. our molly hunter there in turkey. in the meantime, there are new questions about security in afghanistan ahead of tomorrow's key election after a deadly attack claimed by the taliban taliban. the top u.s. commander in that country, general scott miller, survived the shooting. the attack came after miller's meeting with afghan officials about tomorrow's voting. a top afghan police chief was among those killed. defense secretary james mattis said this morning that he does not believe it will weaken afghanistan's overall security. victims of alleged sexual abuse by catholic clergy are welcoming a new federal investigation in pennsylvania. the justice department has now issued subpoenas to seven diocese across the state. it follows a grand jury report that found hundreds of priests abused more than a thousand children since the

that i wanted to teach my kids. (avo) another tru story with keytruda. (roger) my doctor said i could start on keytruda so i did. with each scan things just got better. (avo) in a clinical study, keytruda offered patients a longer life than chemotherapy. and it could be your first treatment. keytruda is for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread... ...who test positive for pd-l1 and whose tumors do not have an abnormal "egfr" or "alk" gene. it's the immunotherapy with the most fda-approved uses for advanced lung cancer. keytruda can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this can happen anytime during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. ser t i exenrat diarrheasevere s pain ss, naus , rapid heartbeat, constipation, changes in urine, changes in eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash, itching or flushing, as this may keep these problems from becoming more serious. these are not all the possible side effects of keytruda.

tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant or lung, breathing, or liver problems.

just a few years later. he admits spending his money on cars, mansions and even a $35,000 hummer golf cart or take the case of john whitaker who infamously took home $315 million but was divorced and broke four years after winning. >> you have to have money to exist in this world but money doesn't rule the world. my wife had said she wished that she had torn the ticket up. well, i wished that we had torn the ticket up too. >> reporter: there are lottery success stories however. mary and brian lohse won about $200 million. the iowa couple building a new football stadium for their high school and gifted their town with a new grocery store. >> seeing the joy and the appreciation and the change it can have on them has been probably the most rewarding thing over the last six years. >> i like their model better. here's an important reminder for both mega and powerball. ticket sales stop one hour before the drawings. maroon five will be headlining the super bowl halftime show. you may have heard of that.

but it seems that the band was not actually the organizers' first pick after all. according to "us weekly," rihanna was originally offered the gig, but she reportedly turned it down to show support for colin kaepernick's protest against police brutality and racial inequality. "entertainment tonight" reports pink was also offered this job but declined. some shade thrown at maroon five there. the boston red sox have punched their ticket for the world series. congratulations. they beat the astros 4-1 to wrap up the series in five games. there you go. you saw the catch. now they have a chance to win their fourth title in 15 years. they'll face either the dodgers or the brewers who continue their series tonight. good luck, everyone. >> to basketball now. take a look. lebron james there dunking a thunderous one for his first basket as a laker in the home opener there. l.a. lost by nine to the blazers. lebron is now 0-4 in debut games with a new team. up next in "the pulse," the best halloween costume of the year.
