the speaker here is under increasing pressure to impeach and clashing with democrats over what should come next but instead of rushing to impeachment, the speaker argues the democrats should instead be aggressively egg having the -- aggressively investigating the president. she argues that the best way to beat trump is actually at the ballot box and then he could be prosecuted for any possible crimes. but, george, this is not going away and the speaker isn't ruling out impeachment, still leaving that on the table. >> under a lot of pressure to get that done as well. meantime, mary, we're counting down to the deadline to impose tariffs on mexico that hits monday. negotiating with the mexicans but netting mixed signals about how it's going. >> reporter: yeah, george. well, the president has tweeted that progress is being made, but he says not nearly enough, and that is why today the u.s. and mexican officials are going to be sitting down here in washington again to try and come up with a solution that can somehow satisfy the president's demand that mexico stop the surge of migrants from coming across the border. if they can't, the president tweeted from abroad if no agreement is reached those tariffs will begin on monday. now, republicans that i have talked with are still holding out hope here it doesn't come to that.

the president's own party, of course, is staunchly opposed to these tariffs. republicans say they will amount to a massive new tax increase on americans. george? >> mary bruce, thanks very much. michael? all right, george. now to that new round of dangerous weather that's moving in. the plains to the gulf coast bracing for severe storms and more flooding. ginger has the very latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. you take 12 hours and dump 14 inches of rain and this is the result. flash flooding in wharton, texas covering farms, homes. and that wasn't the only area. houston, texas, just to the northeast just plowing through water trying to make those images tell you, hey. this can happen very quickly and inundate streets. today it can still happen, and it is this morning in louisiana. we have that tropical moisture fueling up and this low pressure system that will bring some of that moisture and others up to tulsa, springfield or fayetteville through the ozarks, along to mobile you have to watch for the flash flooding into the florida panhandle. now, as that moisture moves in from the florida panhandle through georgia into south carolina, it will be welcome

75 years later do you still remember that day? >> yes, sir, vividly, yes sir. >> reporter: they all do which is why for some the decision to come back was not an easy one. harold mcmurran of alabama. in many ways it's difficult to come back. >> true. in fact, this is my first time back and i came within almost one hour of not coming back. >> has this brought you some peace? >> yes, it has. >> we're grateful you came back. >> thank you. >> how important is it that everyone back home remember? >> i don't want anybody to forget this. it's too important. it's just too important to our country. >> reporter: in 1944 staff sergeant tom rice was with the 101st airborne division flying in a c-47 when he jumped out over normandy.

and 75 years later just watch as he makes that jump again in roughly the same spot where he was a paratrooper in 1944. after the war he became a high school teacher for 44 years in san diego. he did not tell his students he'd earned a bronze star and a purple heart for his service. and all of these years later he trained for six months for this day. >> are you okay? >> reporter: aumpy landing but he was just fine with it. >> are you okay, sir? >> okay. beautiful jump, beautiful flight. everything was perfect. >> reporter: 75 years later honoring the brothers he lost. >> i do it as a commemoration for d-day for those who were killed, captured, injured, it's important to remember the event of d-day because we made history. >> reporter: and for this group of veterans who we have followed who became men on this beach, who met each other to make this trip back together, a salute in normandy.

and, cecilia, it's hard to put into words the gratitude you feel when you sit across from these d-day survivors, we felt it profoundly each time we sat down with them. they are modest, humble, quiet heroes who did not feel comfortable talking about what it was they witnessed all those years ago until really just recently. and they'll tell you that they're here for the heroes behind us, the more than 9,000 people who are buried here in the normandy american cemetery, those marble crosses behind me. they're here to honor their brothers who they have never forgotten, cecilia. >> they are, as you told me earlier this week, david, true national treasures and your tribute to them has just been very beautiful. your coverage all week long so we thank you for that. david, we'll have much more from normandy on "world news tonight." michael? >> can't say thank you enough. everybody, stay right there. when we come back, we have "play of the day." ♪ ♪ here i go again on my own ♪ goin' down the only road i've ever known ♪

i was greeted by two beaming faces. i was there to work. they were there to have the time of their lives. the nba finals is an opportunity of a lifetime for players and also these fans who we surprised earlier this week with the help of a special guest. >> obviously back in the finals and you guys have been selected as "good morning america's" courtside kids so i'll see you guys at game three and enjoy it to the fullest. >> what? >> what? >> reporter: the two sisters riley and olivia were given the chance to be courtside at oracle arena. >> whoa. >> nba 2019 finals. >> reporter: the duo strolled the sidelines and saw how the players get ready for a big game. >> see them all play. >> look so much taller in person. >> reporter: with custom "gma"/warriors jerseys and mics in hand the sisters sat down with the players for some exclusive interviews. >> who on the warriors would you trust to watch your kids and who

wouldn't you and why? >> i trust him because i think he's a gait father. >> we asked who he would trust most to baby-sit his kid and he said you. >> he said me? that's a good friend. i respect it. i'm not available for the job. i got to work. >> reporter: theyffered him a gift of their own. >> before you go we brought something for you. >> oh, my goodness. make sure you brush your teeth and floss. don't want cavities. >> yeah. >> and now would you believe today olivia has her graduation from the sixth grade so she'll probably have a little pep in her step when walking across the stage. one other thing, they interviewed the national anthem performers last night, the group -- the guys from the group metallica and asked did you know who metallica -- they're 9 and 12. they said, rock 'n' roll maybe? so they know the players but they learned something last

night too about metallica as well. >> thank you, t.j.

characters. wow! [ applause ] so you're making history and how does that make you feel. >> it makes me feel good. i finally feel like i'm on a platform i can be taken seriously as an actress and people are seeing me and seeing me as a normal person and not like ostracizing me or putting me in a box so it feels good. >> it really centers around the underground ballroom scene. can you explain a little bit what that was and is for people who might not be familiar with it. >> i'm probably sure you guys knew this. the first season it's explained but it's a place where the ostracized, people not deemed worthy simply because of their identity, they go to this place for refuge and comfort and they live out their wildest fantasies so that's the place where they go to secure their identities and themself. >> is it true you snuck out and went to one when you -- >> yes. i didn't actually sneak out to a bar but snuck out with my house

father. he is amazing. he actually had me come out to new york city and i snuck out from school, walked, didn't tell my mother or father, called my mom and was like -- called my dad and said don't tell my mom, please. can you come pick me up, the 1:00 train is not here. >> you were stuck. >> i was stuck in the city, yeah. >> they came through in they came through. >> did you get in trouble? >> i did, a little bit. just a teeny bit but it went over well. my dad wasn't upset anymore. >> we'll show a little bit. here in the clip we have your entire family in the show. you're making th you're making them go to a protest. >> count me out. i'm not posing for a mug shot. >> ain't none of y'all ever given me a lip when i say you're walking a category at the ball. this sunday the ball is at the church the categories are family

>> but i know the dance moves don't stop when the camera stops rolling. >> he don't. they keep going on. they keep going on -- you have that. oh, yes, that was act three at a viewing of -- the of the first season. i was living my life. >> i heard a hamstring haunted you on that one. >> sometimes i dance at home where there's no one watching. i'm up in my room and just like jumping on the bed, probably jumping on the sofa and playing music to the brim of loudness. >> the neighbors talking. >> we have billy porter coming on monday, your co-star. anything we should give him a hard time about. >> just a little bit. >> what should we ask. >> how does he have that energy every single day? he brings so much life to the show. like how do you gather all that energy? you know what i mean, like at him, i look up to him. he's somebody that teaches me. i've known him since i was 19 and he constantly teaching me

with the "x-men" heading back to the big screen as excitement grows for the marvel comic book to make tear return in "dark phoenix." adrienne bankert is back and sat down with the all-star cast. good morning again. >> reporter: yes, "dark phoenix" is raw, it's emotional. the veterans first class said it meant longer rehearsal days for them to get to this challenging place where those they love are their greatest enemies. >> jean. >> reporter: "dark phoenix," the final chapter for marvel's first class of "x-men" centers around sophie turner's character jean gray alongside james mcavoy as professor xarls xavier. >> don't do this. >> reporter: michael fassbender as magneto. >> the girl dies. >> reporter: and jennifer lawrence as mystique. >> i've been with this character since i was 19 years old so i wanted to be a part of that, this big climax of the film. >> reporter: the movie itself feels more up close and personal, a product of

writer/director simon kinberg. >> there was a lot of handheld camera work in this film that gives intimacy through the visual aspect of it. >> i don't know who i am. >> yes, you do. >> reporter: the bad guy is your hero as well. the bad guy is killing somebody, they're killing family. you know, so it's immediately more intimate. >> reporter: we see more of that fine line with xavier. >> always had a bit of play. he has a message which is really important and positive message of integration and taken his eye off his family. >> had that idea way back in "first class." i see this guy, his achilles' heel is his ego. >> i think it was my idea. >> i think it was my idea. >> seems remarkably similar to a line you deliver. >> the women are always saving the men around here. you might might think about changing it to "x-women." >> was that exhilarating for

you. >> that's what was so cool. there really are no limits in this film. >> look at me. focus on my voice. >> reporter: a thrilling end as the cast reflects on what has been nearly a decade of working together. >> i've been really, really lucky with working incredible directors that really -- >> and actors. >> and factors. >> and actors. >> jennifer was just this natural talent, you know, it was really clear to see. >> thank you that's so nice. >> and gorgeous to watch. >> you can also see somebody like that get used up by the industry. you didn't let that happen, i don't believe. >> i'm going to cry. i didn't know it was going there. thank you, guys. that was really sweet. >> we just wanted to do an interview so we could be with you. >> and obviously they forged that family connection on set. "dark phoenix" hits theaters on friday. cecilia. >> a lot of love there okay, adrienne. let's head over to ginger. >> yes, national fishing and boating week so we've been

a lot like outer space. 30 miles off the east coast of florida, alutia is exploring the open ocean. the nearly 200-foot-long vessel operated by ocean x has discovered new species and traveled to new depths. >> it's a critical time for the ocean. it's critically endangered. threatened. i want them to think about the grandeur and beauty of the oh and how important it is to human life. >> reporter: now, "gma" is joining them on their latest mission. exploring a deep sea coral reef in the atlantic looking for clues about the ocean's health. crucial to the mission is nadir, an eight-ton submersible vehicle capable of withstanding thousands of pounds of pressure. the reef more than 1,000 feet below us right in the middle of the gulf stream. the powerful current that could

push us off course if we don't find our target in minutes. >> whoa. >> ready to go, guys? >> yeah. >> all right. let's do it. >> reporter: we're lowered in and the mission begin, the power of the atlantic all around. beneath the surface, a so real calm as nadir dives into the abyss. what do we expect to see? after fighting the gulf stream current we find what we came for, lafilia coral blanketing the floor looking like another planet 1500 feet down. destructive fishing practices can damage this habitat but this area is remarkably healthy. they're glowing their natural white. the reef teeming with life, fish, crabs, even sharks and after nearly three hours, it's time to climb out of the darkness to the recovery team.

my mission was part of oceanx's broader initial tough explore the florida reef tract to determine its health and i was told i was 1 of only 20 people on the planet to see that specific spot in the ocean which is a real honor and it really blew me away, the pressure down there and we put a coffee cup on the side of the submersible to demonstrate the pressure. it started out as a normal coffee cup. ended up like this. >> oh, come on. yet you were fine, not even wearing scuba gear. >> i didn't even wear shoes. >> wow, incredible experience. thanks for bringing that to us. >> things just got very cute here in times square. >> yes, they did. >> suzi rapp from the columbus zoo brought some friends to share the secrets of the zoo just like she does on the nat geo wild show which just started in its second season. >> good morning to you guy. >> all right. >> we here have clouded leopard. >> these are baby clouded

leopards. >> staci and beau. everything is vanderpump inspired. >> this one is wild. >> you know, a lot people think because we hand raised they're tamed or domestic animals. they're not. they're wild animals and just training them to feel comfortable being around people. clouded leopards are one of the most endangered cats found in southeast asia and get their name if you look at the spots, if you hold still for a minute. for one minute. one minute. the spots appear like clouds in the sky. so that is how they got their name. >> now, in the wild a very solitary cat, they're not going to be social. >> you're doing great. mine is ready to rock 'n' roll. he's ready to go in the audience. >> you're in time-out. >> clouded leopards are

solitary. the only time you'll see more than one is if it's a mother with babies and you're probably not going to see them anyway because they live in such thick forested area, dark, thick forested areas. you and i wouldn't even be able to get there but unfortunately they're endangered. >> it would have taken a little too long to get the sloth out here but i have to bring it up because the internet is obsessed. the world obsessed with sloths right now. >> oh, yeah. >> we know they're slow but there's a myth about them, right? >> i think there's a myth that these are cute and cuddly animals and, you know, they're beautiful and they're from south america but they have teeth on them that are about an inch long. >> that's whiary's not holding them. >> it could rip bark off a tree so the biggest myth is i want to hold the sloth. it's cute and cuddly, it's not. leave the sloths in the trees. if you're in south america, go see them. they're beautiful animals. >> tell us who you have here.

>> this is ariana and ariana is a baby wallowby and on "secrets of the zoo" we do things with our wallabies so great show to watch but this is about -- she's eight months ole and i know she looks kind of big but you have to remember when she was born she was the size of a jelly bean and want key lapse the penguins out. >> that guy is one of my favorites. this is trout and trout unfortunately -- come on, trout. >> we're running out of time. "secrets of zoo" airs on nat

these animals are gorgeous. thank you for bringing them in. >> thank you, suzi. >> any time. we love coming here. >> have a great day.
