♪ knock me down i get back on my feet again ♪ good morning, america. great to have you with us on this thursday morning and it's great to have you, cecilia. you're not here to do damage. >> no, no damage. i won't throw anything, i promise. you know how we love a watch again. watch this. a fan throwing the beer, hitting the world series trophy in boston. a little excited out there. i get it. >> trying to throw to the player. >> good thing it hit the trophy and not somebody's head. we'll show that later again. but we begin with the exclusive interview with president trump. just five days before the midterms he wants all the focus on his signature issue surprising even the pentagon with a new call to send more troops to the mexican border raising fears of a foreign invasion at odds with the facts. our chief white house correspondent jon karl spoke with the president last night after a campaign rally in florida. he joins us now from marco island. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. i traveled with the president on

air force one to southwest florida where he kicked off his final sprint of campaign rallies going into midterm elections. i spoke to him backstage and began by asking him about that call to dramatically increase the number of forces he wants to send to the border. >> okay, you're talking about 10,000, maybe 15,000 active duty u.s. military to the border. more than we have fighting the taliban in afghanistan. more than we have fighting isis in syria. you're really going to do that? >> it's very important. we have to have a wall of people, very highly trained people, terrific, dedicated patriots. that's what they are. you have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than reported. i'm pretty good at estimating crowd size, and i will tell you they look a lot bigger than people would think. >> what we see is deeply impoverished people fleeing violence, many of them women and children. you're going to send 15,000 active duty u.s. military? >> well, it's actually mostly men and mostly young men and rough people.

a lot of rough people, jon. they're pushing the women right up into the front, not good. they're pushing a few kids right up to the front. >> they're 900 miles away. the active duty military, you know the law. you're the president. they can't arrest people crossing the border. >> well, it depends. it depends. national emergency covers a lot of territory -- they can't invade our country. you look at that and it almost looks like an invasion. it really does look like an invasion. >> caravans are an invasion? >> i think so. when you look at some of the people within the caravan, yeah, i think it could be considered an invasion of our country. we can't have it. >> reporter: but there's been no formal national emergency declaration, which means those troops can only act in support of border patrol doing things like transporting agents and building tents. president trump has made fear of illegal immigrants a key theme of his closing arguments and health care and many hammered over a gop lawsuit that would do away with obamacare's requirement that insurance companies must cover people with pre-existing conditions, a lawsuit supported by the white

house. >> you've been saying that democrats want to take away pre-existing conditions. i mean, it's your administration that is supporting a lawsuit that would allow -- >> i'm going to replace pre-existing conditions and i've always been there. what the democrats are going to do is they're going to destroy our entire health care and you are not going the have any health care. >> reporter: as he makes his final push before tuesday's election, he's spending all of his time in states he won campaigning for candidates for senate and governor. >> i think we're doing great in the senate as you would probably see and say and i've heard you say it, but we're doing pretty well in the senate and i think we're doing pretty well in the house. you know what i'll say, it's going to be an interesting evening. >> reporter: but he seems to be all but conceding democrats are likely to win control of the house. >> can you work with them if the democrats win the house? >> well, we'd certainly try. i'm looking to unify. we will certainly try. they've had a very hard time because they haven't been winning and we'll see what

happens in five days from now. it will be very exciting and it's going to be a very close race. they don't talk about the blue wave anymore. it's going to be a very close race. i think the senate, we're looking good and we feel good about the senate, and frankly, i think we feel pretty good about the house. >> business deals, tax returns. >> i'm an open book. frankly, so many people have looked at me for so many years and i guess it's probably one of the reasons i won. but i think they're going to want to get along, too. >> finally i remember -- you remember well on the campaign you made a promise. >> in this journey i will never lie to you. i will never tell you something i do not believe. >> can you tell me now honestly have you kept to that promise at all times? have you always been truthful? >> well, i try. i mean, do try. i think you try too. you say things about me not necessarily correct. i do try and i always want to tell the truth. when i can, i tell the truth. i mean, sometimes it turns out

to be where something happens, it's different or there's a change but i always like to be truthful. >> reporter: mr. trump has a long and established record of making exaggerations and false claims. "the washington post" post has tracked more than 5,000 false or misleading claims since he became president. one of the misstatements i asked about was his statement that the united states is the only country in the world that has birthright citizenship. in fact, there are more than 30 countries that have birthright citizenship including canada. when i pointed that out, the president simply said that is what i was told. george. >> jon, the president did seem a lot more confident about the senate than the house in his talk. are they braced for a loss in the house, especially as you pointed out with the possibility of new investigations coming? >> reporter: there's no question about it. in fact the white house is preparing for the onslaught of democratic investigations that are sure to come if democrat win control of the house.

and you can see it in the president's schedule, george. the president is going to states to campaign for senate candidates. he's focused on these final days on controlling the senate. >> jon karl, thanks very much. cecilia? >> okay, george. just five days until the all-important midterm elections. more than 25 million people have already voted. that tops the total number of early ballots in 2014 with control of congress up for grabs. both sides are now pulling out all the stops and that means the big names are out on the campaign trail. mary bruce is on capitol hill with the latest. perhaps, mary, the biggest name of them all is out there today, oprah. >> reporter: yes, cecilia, oprah is in georgia, which could be a historymaking governor's race there. as they make their final arguments. with the final countdown on, the campaign trail is seeing a surge

of starpower. >> not only democrat depends on it, our country depends upon it so vote. vote. >> vote. >> vote! >> reporter: oprah hitting the trail in the contentious closely watched race for georgia's governor. >> get out and vote early. >> reporter: actor will ferrell rallying canvassers there over the weekend. [ chanting ] >> reporter: the race could make history as democrat stacey abrams hopes to become the nation's first female african-american governor. >> the best way to win overwhelm the system with our democracy. >> reporter: abrams facing off against trump-backed republican brian kemp. but abrams is raising concern over voting access in her state. she says kemp is using his position as secretary of state to make it more difficult for minorities to vote. >> i don't question his heart. i do question the result. regardless of his intent, the result is that racial bias has been injected into our system and that undermines confidence in our democracy. >> reporter: but kemp staunchly denies the allegations, insisting he's simply enforcing current law.

>> this farce about voter suppression and people being held up from being on the rolls and being able to vote is absolutely not true. >> reporter: now oprah isn't the only big name campaigning down in georgia. vice president pence will be there campaigning for brian kemp and the president, cecilia, will be there rallying his supporters on sunday. >> he certainly will and one of the x factors in this race for both sides could end up being women, both those running and those who are voting. >> reporter: we haven't seen anything quite like this before, a record number of women running. more than a quarter of all candidates are women. more than 80 women of color, many of them first-time candidates, many of them say they were inspired to run in direct response to president trump. >> all right, thanks, mary. we are down to the wire. be sure to join us for full coverage on election night. george is anchoring joined by our political team. i'll be right there too. starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern tuesday on abc. >> one seat over. >> there we go. it'll be fun if can't wait to see that. now we'll go to those

dangerous thunderstorms that are bringing tornadoes, heavy winds and floods across the south, even turning deadly. ginger is tracking the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. we have a really dangerous morning. eastern mississippi, western alabama, you see that ugly line, radar-confirmed tornadoes within that. but we know it has the potential to do it because it did it yesterday in texas. there were a couple that were at least reported. but you can see the image there. that tells us that's likely a tornado in katy, texas. this low with the cold front attached will give a tornado watch until 1:00 p.m. that's what's a little bit different. a lot of times we see an afternoon or evening outbreak. this is starting now. you have the morning, afternoon, going to work, going to school, to be concerned about it. montgomery, tallahassee, you get into it a little later in the afternoon. and then the heavy rain is the next part we have to talk about. that will end up impacting us by tomorrow night. michael. >> thank you very much, ginger. george? we have breaking new developments overseas in that plane crash mystery. underwater divers have now recovered one of the missing black boxes from the lion air flight that crashed in the

waters off indonesia. abc's david kerley has the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. a major break three days after this horrific crash. one of the black boxes now found. it could have the answers as to why that new jetliner went down. this morning, the first of two black boxes from the doomed indonesian flight found. directed by its pinging, divers recovered the important data recorder, which could explain why the lion air jet fell out of the sky just 13 minutes into its flight. some of the wreckage of the nearly brand-new 737 now seen on the floor of the java sea where divers will look for that second box, the voice recorder. overnight, one eyewitness saying she saw thick black smoke pouring out of the aircraft. she says it was just after takeoff under the right wing near the wheel well of the landing gear. and this video given to abc showing passengers boarding an hour before the tragedy which killed 189. investigators from the ntsb and boeing are now on the scene.

some of them examining the wreckage of the 737 max 8 which has been recovered already. the airline says there was a technical issue the day before on the two-month-old jet but claimed it was resolved. the search for that voice recorder will resume, but this plane was brand new and it had the capability of beaming down data in flight. boeing and the engine maker, ge, declined to comment on whether they already have data on this aircraft. >> david kerley, thanks very much. now to those new chilling details about notorious mob boss whitey bulger's death. we're learning who may have killed him just after he was transferred to a new prison. abc's gio benitez is in boston with more on this. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, good morning. yeah, we're in south boston or southie and you see this building right here, it used to

be triple o's lounge. it's where so many of bulger's shakedowns happened and this morning it is a far cry from the prison where he was killed. this morning, new reports that notorious gangster whitey bulger may have been killed in a mob hit. one of the alleged attackers thought by many to be 51-year-old mob hit man freddy geas who is serving a life sentence including the murder of another mob boss, big al bruno. a private investigator saying freddie hated rats and that since bulger was an fbi informant his murder was not a surprise. according to "the new york times," bulger was found severely beaten. officials telling the paper he was attacked with a padlock stuffed inside a sock. >> you're going to be responding to the maximum security. they advise cpr in progress. >> reporter: bulger's violent past included at least 11 murders, spending 16 years on the run until his capture back in 2011. cold comfort for the families left behind. >> when you hear the name whitey bulger, what do you think? >> i used to get real angry and

my thoughts were evil. i feel grateful that he died brutally and not from a natural cause. >> reporter: stephen davis lost his sister to bulger's gang. she was just 26. bulger's partner pleaded guilty to her murder but says it was bulger who strangled her. >> do you feel at peace now with his death? >> very much so. he's where he belongs in the dirt where he put a lot of other people. >> reporter: and now this morning, some are raising questioning about why bulger was moved to that prison and put into the general population but, cecilia, as you just heard his victims are not complaining. >> quite a story. okay, gio, thank you. george? now we have a frightening crash caught on tape. take a look at this right here. a driver plows into a liquor store in michigan, hits that man inside. thankfully that man survived. he broke his hip and leg but is expected to recover. the woman was driving erratically and reversed into

the store and she's now facing charges for driving under the influence. michael? we're going to switch gears to the boston red sox and that blunder. hundreds of fans out celebrating the new world series champs but they may have taken it just a little too far with the excitement, or maybe trying out for the team, i don't know but t.j. holmes. t.j. is here with the story. >> it's that simple. they broke the trophy. some people just can't have nice things, right? we've seen championship trophies that get passed around a lot so sometimes people will drop them and they'll break. not boston. take a look at what happened to their trophy. it's going down the street for the parade and then it gets clocked by a beer. yes, someone tosses a beer that breaks the trophy. now, we're told minor repairs are needed so it's not that big of a deal, but leave it to boston. they know how to celebrate, don't they? >> they say the sox are cursed but they still won the series so cursed in another way with the trophy. seems like tossing the beer -- >> more than a toss. >> tradition now to do this.

>> it's scary to think it is tradition but they've been having a lot of parade celebrations in boston between the patriots and the red sox for the past -- >> don't remind me. >> i'm just sayin'. but what the fans have taken to do is toss beers and liquor up to the players, and the players over the years have cracked them open and started drinking. there's mookie betts, he's dodging them and says this needs to stop, this tradition. alex cora, the manager, was hit by one and they found the guy who threw it and the guy was arrested so this is tradition now. they've been doing -- and players over the years will crack them open and drink them but it is a dangerous practice. another young lady was hit with one, had to go to the hospital for stitches. so but it is their tradition, if you will. >> be careful. >> keep the beer in your hand and drink it yourself. >> that's what i practice. >> just not on air. >> not at 7:00 a.m. all right, ginger, help us out here. back over to ginger. >> i can't imagine.

like, they're throwing them open too which is a weird part of the tradition. keep them closed. the flooding that's also a concern. it's not just tornadoes but with that line, look what it did in houston, texas. also in iowa, louisiana, sheets of rain impacting the drive time there, but watch what's going to happen with this cold front. it then moves. if you have flights from philadelphia to washington, d.c. to new york city tomorrow night, that is going to be something you'll want to check ahead.

california's public schools rank 44th in the nation. 44th. i'm marshall tuck, i'm a public-school parent, and i know we can do better. in the public schools i led, we got more funding into our classrooms, supported our teachers, and we raised graduation rates by 60%. that's why president obama's education secretary endorses me. we've done it before. now, let's do it for every public-school student in california. i'm marshall tuck. i'm running for state superintendent. we're back now with that football firestorm. overnight, the embattled coach at the university of maryland, d.j. durkin, was fired a day after being reinstated. so many were outraged he had gotten his job back after a player died of heatstroke.

we'll speak with his father in a moment. but first, paula faris is here with the latest on this one. good morning, paula. >> good morning, everyone. what a stunning turn of events. durkin was reportedly surprised by the school's decision to terminate him. but there are many upset the university of maryland did not do the right thing until they were forced to. just 24 hours after reinstating their embattled head football coach, the university of maryland caving to massive public pressure. >> our voices were heard. >> reporter: reversing course announcing they've now fired d.j. durkin who had been under fire following the death of 19-year-old freshman jordan mcnair. >> we have an individual hyperventilating. >> reporter: it was determined he died two weeks after suffering heatstroke during an intense workout earlier this spring. an investigation was launched looking into allegations of a toxic culture within the university's football program.

a culture which jordan mcnair's family believe led to his death. >> he will always give his all and so for him to -- he wouldn't have stopped -- he wouldn't have stopped because if that's the culture then he didn't want to be called names. >> reporter: after a 2 1/2-month suspension the maryland board of regents, which oversees the state's universities, stood by the coach reinstating him on tuesday. >> we believe that coach durkin has been unfairly blamed for the dysfunction in the athletic department and while he shares some responsibility, it is not fair to place all of it at his feet. >> reporter: but by wednesday, the student government planned to protest. many pointing to the millions saved by not buying durkin out of his contract. one of mcnair's teammates tweeting, a paycheck was chosen over that life and the university had no choice but

to part ways saying the overwhelming majority of stakeholders expressed serious concerns about coach d.j. durkin returning to campus. a departure is in the best interest of the university. now, there were two investigations, one of those investigations did not find a toxic culture but did say the department lacked a culture of accountability and as for the university, they could face additional legal fallout from firing durkin. he could sue the school on a number of claims. it's looking like this could be a messy separation. >> okay, paula, thank you. jordan mcnair's father, marty and their family's attorney hassan murphy join us. thank you both for being here this morning. what is your reaction to coach durkin being fired? >> relieved. surprised. a level of gratitude that the right thing was done so far. >> this was a huge shock, even to you, this firing, because just 24 hours earlier he had been reinstated to the job.

and when that happened, you said publicly you felt like you were punched in the stomach, does what happen now change any of that? >> yeah, somewhat, just due to the decision that dr. loh made, this is a step in the right direction. >> mr. murphy, before this was happened, the only person who paid for what happened was jordan and he paid with his life. coach dirkin is out. should anyone else be punished? >> i don't know really if that's for us to say anymore. our fight now is about getting justice for this family and for jordan's name and in his memory. >> we heard one of the investigations blasted the culture of the athletic department saying that it lacked accountability. i guess this question is for both of you. is what happened to jordan an

isolated case, and, mr. mcnair, do you have fear for the players on the team? >> no, it's not an isolated case. exertional heatstroke happen every year. you had 30-plus deaths since 2000 of collegiate athletics on the football field and usually happens the first or second day of practice. the main goal moving forward at this point is to bring some type of awareness and prevention that everyone can see thai that this doesn't happen again because it was 100% preventible. >> and, cecilia, one of the things that we've seen in our investigation, we talked to dozens of former and current players and there was a toxic culture. we've heard stories of physical abuse, harassment, beration. >> if this was indeed cultural, what about the players on this team now? >> hopefully this will mark a change and an end. i mean, part of why jordan died is as a result of the culture. jordan literally was in the early stages of death, they were calling him names.

>> what is your message to student athletes pushing themselves to the edge doing what their coaches are telling them to do. do you have words for them this morning? >> to all student athletes, know your bodies. and know when your body tells you to stop, stop. because you only have one body and we don't want to -- i don't wish anyone to be in the situation that we're in right now with jordan. >> mr. murphy, you had filed an intention to sue. does that still stand? >> absolutely, and whether or not that happens will now be up to the university of maryland. >> well, our thanks again to you both for being here this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. michael. coming up, we have the beautiful story behind these two marathon runners and in our next hour, the great and unexpected twist after a father confronted his son's bully. what all parents can learn from the encounter. we'll be right back. encounter. we'll be right back. if you hav, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla.

unmatched groundbreaking success as a recording artist, writer and director, barbra streisand is trying something new, deploying her musical gifts in direct support of the core beliefs she's espoused for nearly a half century, speaking out in no uncertain terms on her new album. why was this moment the moment the moment when your activism and your art come together? >> well, it's when i found myself so sad and heartbroken after the 2016 election. i couldn't sleep nights. i found myself eating a lot as i tweeted about. every time this president said something that wasn't true, i just had to eat pancakes, you know, and coffee ice cream and tweet and write. >> reporter: now from barbra streisand, strong words and

images on "don't lie to me." >> i had a lot of things on my mind. watching the children being pulled out of their mother's arms, it was a release to just put it down on paper, you know, then sing about it. >> reporter: throughout much of her new album "walls," her liberal advocacy and opposition to president trump gets expressed by that legendary voice. >> i thought to myself how does someone who lies that much sleep at night? i mean, where is the guilt? you know, well, he's not jewish, but you must have a guilty conscience somewhere but he doesn't. one of the last lines in "what's on my mind" is what happened to just being kind? >> reporter: with emotions from rage and despair to hope that unmistakable streisand sound comes through, much in evidence on "lady liberty". >> i felt so patriotic. i love america. it was wonderful to try to sing that song. that had a lot of high notes. >> it really did. and you crushed them.

>> thank you. thank you. it's funny because i'm reading some of the comments on instagram and it's like, oh, we love that song, especially your last note, that very high note, quiet note. and i tell you, it was just so wonderful to sing that and then come into the room where my team was, you know, and they're looking at me like, wow -- huh? i'm going, huh? >> what made imagine a song that in 2018 you needed to sing? >> yeah, i never would have touched it before because it was john lennon's song but it was -- it's pure. it's about love and togetherness and it's what this country needs now. >> reporter: she's anticipating more love in her life as well. she'll soon be a grandmother again courtesy of stepson josh brolin. >> and he talked about the first time he ever called you mom. what do you remember about that?

>> well, i love him. i don't want to share his secrets, but it was thrilling. it was thrilling and i always wanted more children and -- but i couldn't have more and so we're a closer family now. >> reporter: at 76 in a career that since the 1960s has been rich with achievement in music and film, on both sides of the camera, streisand and her creativity continue to flower. >> you broke down the doors. part of how you did it was insisting on creative control. >> ha, ha, ha. yeah. >> and you took a lot of grief for that, didn't you? >> i did. i did. i did. because it wasn't fashionable. it wasn't proper for women to be in control, and i'm strong in my views. i have a vision of things, the way they should be. >> how proud are you for

fighting and winning all those battles through 50 years in show business? >> well, it caused me pain. it caused me pain when i have to deal with the boys club at times. it probably annoys a lot of people. >> thank you for the encore, barbra. >> my pleasure. >> barbra's appeal crosses all party lines. she told us she recently received a call from former republican senator bob dole telling streisand how her music had helped him recuperate from a recent illness. it was clear that that call meant a great deal to barbra. george. >> i'll bet it did. thank you, chris. we're going to move on now to a "gma" parenting alert from a houston father who confronted the boy bullying his son and chose to approach the boy with kindness which brought the boys together and now the story has been shared more than 5 million times. take a look. it's the father knows best teachable moment shared by millions of parents across the country. 28-year-old aubrey sat down for

a heartfelt conversation with the boy who was bullying his son. >> i really wanted to know what was wrong with him. >> reporter: aubrey's 8-year-old jordan had been having problems with 11-year-old tamarion for months. >> i talked to the school several times about it. one day my son's phone came up missing. i said this is enough, what are you going to do about it because i'm upset. >> reporter: that's when aubrey learned his son's bully was also being bullied. >> honestly, i saw myself. i just saw somebody who needed a young me, who just needed kind of that male guidance. >> reporter: the fifth grader told aubrey he didn't have any clean clothes or shoes and was being teased for it. >> the more i felt like he was opening up to me, i started to take him shopping. and i just bought him a few things, just something to help him uplift his spirits, self-confidence, his self-esteem, everything. >> reporter: then aubrey

initiated a conversation between the two boys. >> simple sit-down. it's like you speak your mind. you speak your mind. and we're going to come to some type of common ground like men. even though they're boys, one day they'll be men and they did. a lot of violence can be avoided if you just have understanding. >> reporter: now they're close friends. >> ever since then we started going to school, playing on the playground. >> he's really cool. he helps a lot of people and stuff. he has my back and i have his. >> they treat each other like brothers. i can't separate them. i can't get them to stop talking to each other. they're just two goofballs. >> let's bring in dr. dave anderson, clinical psychologist from the child mind institute. i love that, treat the boys like men, they become brothers. >> absolutely. what's amazing about this father's story is that for most parents they want to so a bully punished or expelled.

he acted with empathy, took a step back, and tried to understand the landscape. bullying comes from many causes and we want to make sure of with bullies we understand what they need and try to figure out how their community can get that. >> kids don't always open up about being bullying. >> a general parent should know the definition. they should know it is intentional by the bully, repeated and causes great distress and power differential. look out for signs in their child. sudden changes in mood and look out for peers that they might be avoiding or activities they used to enjoy that they don't want to engage in much. >> what are other tips for parents dealing with bullying? >> the general tip, it's really hard for any parent to hear from their child they might be being bullied. the best step, keep your cool and later share it with your community. second step, tell your child you believe them, that it's not their fault and you're going to figure out a plan to intervene. and the final step, try to engage a community around discussions about what behaviors they want to see. we don't want them to be bystanders, we want them to be upstanders to figure out how to deal with it. >> makes perfect sense. great advice there.
