7:01 am
an abc news exclusive. demi moore one-on-one with diane sawyer. the hollywood star back in the spotlight. what we never knew about her famous marriages, her difficult childhood, and one life-changing moment. >> you said your childhood -- >> was done. >> candid and revealing. the interview only on "gma" this morning. the couple who went to extremes to find their missing pet, quitting work, searching for weeks straight. a sweet reunion 57 days in the making. and shock and awe at the emmys. >> oh, my god. >> the breakout star besting julia louise-dreyfus for the biggest awards of the night. and history made. >> and the category is love, y'all. >> this win for billy porter. we're backstage with the biggest winners right here on "gma." >> good morning, america. ♪ good morning, america.
7:02 am
he's something, isn't he? hope you all had a great weekend. they switched it up at the emmys last night. >> they did, with no host last night. but billy porter, his speech and making history. the first openly gay man to win best actor in a drama. >> everything about him is so wonderful including that great hat. so many moments overnight. as you said, the show actually went hostless. multiple people stepping in to help like anthony anderson and his mom. she took home a few emmys. she took. i don't think she took them home. amy of course was right there with her and we'll have much more ahead. first we begin with tropical storm karen. heading two puerto rico and the virgin islands this morning. watches are now in effect as the 11th named storm of the hurricane season moves in. ginger, of course, start us off with the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, robin. we've got a lot of areas of concern, tropical depression, jerry and karen. but let's start with karen. that's the one that could impact not just puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands but a lot
7:03 am
of people concerned about its impacts potentially to the united states. right now the two models we look at are not in agreement. but we've got time with this thing. by the end of the week we should have a better and more clear look. in the imminent future, i can tell you there will be impacts to the u.s. virgin islands including st. croix, st. thomas and tropical storm warnings for puerto rico and vieques as well. the impacts will be two to up to six inches of rain. that could cause flash flooding and put it under the path. you can see those mountains on puerto rico. that's why you end up having the potential for mudslides and flash flooding. quick look at jerry. could brush over bermuda with tropical storm force winds. >> we're going to turn to washington and the demand for answers after that whistle-blower complaint. house speaker nancy pelosi is demanding the trump administration turn over information about the president's phone call with ukraine's leader. this as president trump himself appeared to admit that he talked to joe biden -- talked about joe biden during that call. my white house partner in crime, jon karl, is here with us this morning.
7:04 am
in new york. the big question is did the president pressure a foreign leader to investigate a political rival? >> good morning, cecilia. that is the question but the president as you point out already appears to be acknowledging that he did, in fact, talk to the president of ukraine about joe biden. pressure or not, that acknowledgement that he spoke to a foreign leader about his political rival is raising serious concerns among democrats and some key republicans as well. just days after "the wall street journal" reported that president trump pressured the president of ukraine to investigate the business dealings of joe biden's son hunter, the president now appears to be acknowledging he did, in fact, talk about biden when he spoke to the ukrainian president in july. >> the conversation i had was largely congratulatory, was largely the fact that we don't want our people like vice president biden and his son creating the corruption already in the ukraine. >> reporter: at the time of the phone call the trump
7:05 am
administration had been holding back $250 million in aid to ukraine that had been approved by congress. >> i know when i give pressure and that was not pressure. >> reporter: now speaker of the house nancy pelosi is giving the trump administration a deadline of thursday to turn over the secret whistle-blower complaint that first raised concerns about that phone call. if they don't turn it over, she wrote in a letter to congress, the administration, quote, will be entering a grave new chapter of lawlessness which will take us into a whole new stage of the investigation. biden campaigning in iowa is firing back at the president. >> i know trump deserves to be investigated. he is violating every basic norm of a president. you should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader trying to intimidate a foreign leader if that's what happened. that appears what happened. you should be looking at trump. >> for the most part criticism of the president's actions here has come from democrats but there is one key exception.
7:06 am
senator mitt romney is now saying that if the president asked or pressured ukraine's president to investigate a political rival, quote, it would be troubling in the extreme. meanwhile, george, the president is on the world stage all week here in new york at the u.n. general assembly. >> including meeting with the ukrainian president right there. the big question now is, as you saw nancy pelosi's ultimatum right there, the president said he was open to reloosing the transcript of this call. any indication the white house will follow through on that or the whistle-blower complaint? >> the white house has talked about -- the white house aides have talked about possibly releasing the transcripts or the complaint but i'll tell you, the fact that pelosi herself is demanding this may set it back. this white house has repeatedly stonewalled congress over and over again and yesterday, you heard from the secretary of state and the secretary of treasury that it's unlikely they'll release that transcript. let's take that to congress and mary bruce has more. that was a dramatic escalation
7:07 am
from nancy pelosi yesterday. >> reporter: george, we are seeing a real shift on capitol hill when it comes to the question of impeachment. even democrats who so far have been reluctant to go down this path say this may be changing their calculus, that we may be at a tipping point. chairman adam schiff of to house intelligence committee, is suggesting that the president's actions or that these latest revelations may be so incriminating the house is left with few other options and says they may have, quote, crossed the rubicon. nancy pelosi notably did not mention the word impeachment in the letter but she certainly is hinting at the possibility. while, george, on the other side democrats have been pushing for impeachment for some time, are growing increasingly frustrated. they are outraged with their own party's muddled response and refusal so far to impeach. >> the numbers of house democrats calling for impeachment has been steadily increasing over the last several weeks so facing this big deadline thursday. the director of national intelligence is supposed to come to capitol hill and as you saw nancy pelosi's demand for him to release the complaint. if it doesn't happen, besides opening an impeachment investigation, what are the other options for the members of congress?
7:08 am
>> reporter: george, we're in a little bit of unprecedented territory. democrats are making it clear they want this whistle-blower complaint and they're going to use every bit of leverage and tool that they have available. that includes their power of the purse and possibly fighting this out in court. now, come thursday if they don't get the information they want, democrats could move ahead to subpoena that complaint or the transcript of the president's phone call but, george, all of the plan bs that are available could be very slow moving and that is only likely to add to democrats' growing frustration here on the hill. >> mary bruce, thanks so much. cecilia? >> now to these new fears this morning about the spread of that sponsible for sevepiriishe in ea lyme, connecticut, one place where the disease has turned deadly. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. there is no cure and there is no vaccination and that is why officials are now urging people to stay inside when the spray and also to wear long sleeves.
7:09 am
in massachusetts, james longworth's wife said her husband collapsed during a yard sale last weekend, wound up in a coma and died just four days later. >> it's an absolutely devastating disease. >> reporter: authorities also say an adult in connecticut has died after being hospitalized with the disease in august. >> eee is an equal opportunity disease. it can really strike anyone of any age. >> reporter: the disease now believed to be responsible for at least seven deaths in four states this year alone with reports of an additional 27 infections in six states including one girl who is just 5 years old. while the disease is rare, according to the cdc nearly a third of cases are fatal and many survivors are left with permanent neurological damage. 14-year-old savannah dehart has been hospitalized in michigan since the beginning of august. her mom says it's been an emotional roller coaster. her daughter fighting to live every day, even the good ones, a struggle.
7:10 am
>> our whole lives have been flipped upside down. the tears flows just when they flow. they just come out whenever they want at this point. >> reporter: and, cecilia, we are seeing a lot of school districts in these areas spray and limit the amount of time that students are able to play outside because of this concern. cecilia. >> that's so frightening. any sense of how long this threat is supposed to last? >> reporter: well, medical officials say even as the temperatures cool down we can still expect to see mosquitoes so it's likely not going to be until that first frost that they will go away. >> okay, eva, thanks so much. george? >> thanks, cecilia. we're going to get the latest on antonio brown. the wide receiver cut by the new england patriots after sexual harassment allegations now says he's done with the nfl taking on the league in a series of tweets and paula faris here with the story. good morning, paula. >> good morning, george.
7:11 am
what a story this is. brown's agent said some teams had expressed interest after the patriots dropped him on friday but that was before brown decided to go on a twitter rant over the weekend. if he is ever to play in the nfl again, he certainly is not helping his cause. >> caught by brown, touchdown! >> reporter: it was an abrupt fall from grace for antonio brown in his short-lived stint as a new england patriot. >> caught for the touchdown! >> reporter: just hours before his former patriots squared off against the jets in new england on sunday the wide receiver releasing a series of tweets, first announcing he won't be playing for the nfl anymore, saying, these owners can cancel deals, do whatever they want at any time, sad they can just void guarantees. will see if they pay up. brown implying a double standard in treatment. he then went on to take shots at patriots owner robert kraft who has remained in his job despite being arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor earlier this year, charges kraft pled not guilty to in february. brown tweeting about kraft's arrest comparing it to his own situation with the patriots. that post was deleted shortly
7:12 am
after along with several others including a tweet taking digs at steelers quarterback ben roethlisberger who was suspended four games by the league in 2010 after accusations of sexual assault, allegations roethlisberger still denies. brown saying, four games for big ben, crazy world. i'm done with it. roethlisberger was never charged. brown was officially released from the patriots on friday playing just one game for the team. >> that's an a.b. td. >> reporter: according to a "sports illustrated" report last week, the nfl met with an unidentified second accuser. she also said brown had recently sent her intimidating text messages including one message that showed a photograph of her children. brown denies any sexual advances towards her. espn's now reporting brown does have plans to file a grievance against the patriots in hopes of securing the $9 million signing bonus. the nfl players association will be representing him. ahead of sunday's game, patriots coach bill belichick avoiding this big question.
7:13 am
>> what was the final straw with antonio brown? >> we're focused on the jets today. >> thank you, coach. >> okay, remember the two people that brown called out, ben roethlisberger, his former teammate, and robert kraft, his former owner. now the patriots owe him that $9 million signing bonus but kraft is so livid, espn is reporting that kraft is never writing that check no matter what the ruling from the nflpa is. this got ugly in a hurry. >> sure did. >> all the talent in the world. >> i know. i'm just happy my saints won. >> there you go. >> big win. >> represent. >> but i digress. historymaking night at the emmys. huge breakthroughs as we said good-bye to some of the biggest shows. amy was there for it all, joins us now from l.a. and, amy, oh, what a night. good morning. >> oh, good morning to you, robin. yeah, so many incredible moments and, sure, the show may not have had a host but it was packed with big names, a lot of laughs and a lot of heart. >> and the emmy goes to "game of
7:14 am
thrones." >> reporter: on television's biggest night hollywood bidding a final farewell to the phenomenon that was "game of thrones." taking home the night's top honor, outstanding drama series, the show's fourth win in that category. >> i can't believe we finished it. i can't believe we did it. we did it all together and it's over and we shall never see that again. >> "fleabag." >> reporter: but the night belonging to breakout newcomer phoebe waller-bridge, the star and creative mastermind behind the amazon series "fleabag." >> i find writing really, really hard and really painful and -- but i'd like to say just honestly from the bottom of my heart, the reason i do it is this. >> reporter: the show besting the seemingly indomitable "veep" in the best comedy category and while it beat julia
7:15 am
louis-dreyfus, we caught up with the big winner backstage. >> when you woke up this morning could you have even imagined or envisioned this? >> no. no. i mean, the imagining and the dreaming and the fantasy of it, you're on your way to the emmys, you're like, what if. it might happen and it does, oh, [ bleep ]. >> reporter: through it all moments of humor dotting the show despite going hostless. >> what a dumb idea. >> what a joke. >> so stupid. >> you know who has a host, applebee's has a host. >> reporter: comedian thomas lennon acting as commentator, even taking a veiled shot at felicity huffman. >> the producers have asked me to give a special shout-out to previous lead actress winners who are watching tonight from prison. hopefully those two weeks are going to fly right by. >> once again we witness history unfold, the emmy goes to billy porter.pl ] >> reporter: but it was also a show that made history. ory for leadbilly porter

[ applause ] i have the right. you have the right. we all have the right. >> reporter: and michelle williams thanking fx for paying her the same as her male co-star for "fosse/verdon" and urging equal pay for all. >> and so the next time a woman and especially a woman of color because she stands to make 52 cents on the dollar compared to her white male counterpart tells you what she needs in order to do her job, listen to her. believe her. because one day she might stand in front of you and say, thank you for allowing her to succeed because of her workplace environment and not in spite of it. [ applause ] thank you.
7:17 am
>> reporter: you may remember michelle williams was paid just a thousand dollars for those re-shoots in her movie "all the money in the world" while her co-star mark wahlberg reportedly made $1.5 million so a very powerful moment on stage there last night and speaking of powerful moments, of course we have to talk about billy porter. he told me by the way, robin, that his favorite show is "good morning america." he watches us every single morning and we're going to have much more because he spoke with us just moments after that historic win last night. a lot more coming here live from the "w" in hollywood. >> i'm telling you, his speech just gave me chills. it gave me chills. the ceremony like the oscars went well without a host, amy. >> it certainly did. they were trying to preserve time for so many of these series that had their final years this year so they wanted to pay tribute to them and so it went really well because they were only three minutes overtime so it was very well played on their part.

8:05 am
when he was even friday he raised more than $150,000. now he has more than doubled that with $330,000 which busch beer and venmo will match. that means carson will be donating more than a million dollars to the hospital and there's still more than a week to go. so great, he's going to show up to >> he's saying let's keep it going. >> keep it going. >> good for him. a lot more coming up. amy at the emmys backstage with the winners including billy porter and jason bateman. >> cannot wait for that. also can't wait for this. disney's ceo and chairman bob iger is here live. the ten key principles he uses to guide his career with hopes that it can help you too. and the one and only whoopi goldberg is joining us live. there she is. we also have a great audience upstairs. flowers. we'll be right back. drive safe & save discount? going for og yup, using the app. i've been quite vigilant.

8:15 am
lucasfilm and 21st century fox, o is hopinto hp others t all is achieve success by sharing his top principles on leadership. it's in his brand-new book called "the ride of a lifetime: lessons learned from 15 years as ceo of the walt disney company." you better give it up for bob iger right now. [ applause ] no pressure. no pressure. >> good to see you. thank you very much. thank you. >> okay, as i said, there's no pressure at all interviewing -- none whatsoever. >> we're old friends. >> yes, we are old friends and when you see the scope and magnitude, what goes through your mind first? >> well, it seems like an out-of-body experience a bit. i started at this company at abc 45 years ago as a studio supervisor working on shows like "a.m. america," the precursor to
8:16 am
"good morning america" and abc sports and a lot of other things, never expecting that i would end up having the opportunity to run one of the greatest companies in the world so i'm deeply appreciative. i try to remain humble. sometimes it's not an easy thing. but you know, i love what i do. i love the people i work with. i love the ride of a lifetime that i've had. >> you make it look so easy, the grace, and i know -- i just have a quick aside. my momma met bob at a wedding, way, way, back when in the '80s and bob gave her his business card. that tells you how long ago it was and it was just -- my mom said at that time, bob -- and my mom was very intuitive, but i talked about my mom a lot. she said there was something about you and en thought i knew i lot about y reading your book, when you talk about your family -- and i think this is something that a lot of folks are going to relate to, your father, a loving man but
8:17 am
had his issue, had his challenges and you said you could tell by his footsteps when he came home what dad was showing up. >> yes, he was a loving father and a great influence on my life. he was intellectually curious and he pushed me to be productive all the time, which i guess in a way was like saying to his son, don't waste your time. maybe it sounds a bit harsh but that's just who he was but he also had severe depression, manic depression and it created incredible mood swings and so it was quite unpredictable. he was unpredictable and we never quite knew what father would be coming home, whether he would be in one of his down moods or one of his up moods. but it was something we -- my sister and i learned to live with over the years. reflecting on it i think it was probably a little bit more difficult than i even imagined at the time but it also created resilience and an ability to understand that the world was far from perfect and people were far from perfect, even loved ones, and that mental illness was in fact just that, an
8:18 am
illness. >> i appreciate because many people have dealt with that in hair own families. your work ethic, it's been unbelievable. you want to share and you do that. what are the top principles that you learned that you think can help others? >> well, clearly liking what you do and applying yourself, working hard. i think my self-satisfaction comes mostly from the fact that i feel like i've put in the work and that feels great. there are a number of things. i talk a lot about the need to be optimistic. that's mostly a leadership principle. people don't like to follow pessimist, for instance, particularly true in the military when you think about it. i like taking bold steps. i think in today's world with all the change that is around us, that being timid and in some form or another trying to protect the status quo does not make any sense, doesn't work, so i like being risky or not being risk averse. it's really important to be focused and to be decisive and, of course, to treat people fairly and well and to be
8:19 am
accessible, to be communicative, tell people what you expect of them as a for instance, set standards and to live by them so there are a number of things that i talk about in the book that have served me well. i try not to be too presumptuous about the meaning. they serve me well. i hope they will work for others but i don't know for sure. >> that's how it comes across. that is something that was pervasive throughout the book about your optimism. that was quite apparent. also -- and i told you this, steve jobs, former -- the co-founder of apple, oh, my goodness. you are new in your tenure as ceo and that wasn't a given and write about how tenuous it is and you're new on the job, we'll acquire pixar which was big at the time and the relationship between pixar and disney wasn't at its best so 30 minutes before this acquisition is going to be announced, steve jobs shares something very personal with you. >> right, steve was the controlling shareholder of pixar. he had bought it from george
8:20 am
luke was, owned half of it, and we decided to acquire pixar for $7.4 billion in 2005. >> excuse me. 7.4. >> a small deal. >> and you're new on the job. >> i talked about being bold. >> right. >> and we were announcing the deal at pixar when the stock market closed about 1:00 in the pacific coast and he asked me an hour before to go for a walk. we went for a walk on the pixar campus, beautiful campus, sat on a bench. he put his arm behind me and said i'm going to tell you something that only my wife and my doctor knows and i said what's that. he said, i have cancer, again. he had had cancer a few years earlier, announced that he was cured and said, it's back. and i said, well, why are you telling me this? and he said i'm giving you a chance to back out of the deal and i looked at my watch and i realized we're announcing the deal in less than an hour at that point. i had no idea what to do. he made me promise not to tell anyone and so i thought about it and thought about it and thought about it. ultimately decided there was no way i could back out of the deal
8:21 am
since i couldn't really counsel anyone or ask for anybody's counsel. i just made that decision and out we went and announced the deal. two of us standing on the podium smiling holding that pixar lamp as though nothing had happened and meanwhile inside me i'm in tears, i'm crying actually within, knowing that i'm standing with someone who i admired greatly and had such a positive influence on the world and that he might not be around very long. >> and you're married to willow bay who knew steve very well and how you wrote about how emotional it was that night when you went home. and willow has been one that has said to you, be bold and to take risks. what is the one risk that you took? here, pixar and marvel and then lucasfilm and other, as well. but what is the one that kept you up most at night? >> i've been really lucky over the years in that i sleep well and i don't suffer from great anxiety over these decisions
8:22 am
that we've made, and so while they all seem very risky, i was determined in each case to see the deals through and i believed in them so much, mostly because in all of those acquisitions we were acquiring people in that each company that we bought pixar, marvel, lucasfilm and 21st century fox, had great talent there and i just knew that if we showed them respect, gave them support, that they would continue to thrive even under disney so i didn't really lose sleep over those things. i'm fortunate, i guess, over the years that i -- maybe it's enabled me to be a little bit more bold than perhaps i would have been. i don't lose sleep. i don't get much sleep either. >> can i just say wakanda forever. thank you very much. [ applause ] that was bold. that was big. and, you know, there were some folks that were saying, bob, that's never going to work. >> yes, and making "black panther", it's interesting,
8:23 am
you asked whether i lost sleep. that i definitely did not lose sleep. i did not think that was a risk. i believe strongly in the need to tell stories involving more diverse people and essentially telling stories that better reflected the world that we live in. it's a far more diverse world than ever before and it was time we made a superhero film, a marvel film starring a black character with a predominantly black cast and we put it in the hands of a director and creator named ryan coogler, had done two movies, "fruitvale station" and "creed," and he was brilliant and had never done a movie of that scale and had such a great vision for that film that we just gave him the support that he needed and went along for the ride and it was a great one. i think one of the highest moments, maybe a moment that i felt more pride than ever before was bringing "black panther" out, showing it to the world. i remember being at the premiere and sitting for the first time with an audience. in fact, i think you and i might have communicated right after that because you came to the new
8:24 am
york premiere. >> right. >> and just feeling such a strong sense of pride and accomplishment not necessarily for me but for the company, for marvel and for ryan coogler and that brilliant cast and costume designers and set designers and the music was tremendous. it was -- it was an artistic accomplishment that had a huge cultural impact. >> it did and it was all about disney as well. [ applause ] >> in the time that we have remaining i could ask you what you're doing next. i don't know if it's going to be going back to your roots. do you know that he was a weatherman? did you know that, also he was at ithaca, he was a reporter. but don't trust me. >> oh, don't show that. >> here we go. roll the tape. >> tonight a look at ithaca college winter weekend. a new campus credit union and pluses and minuses are
8:25 am
reinstated. also a sampling of student opinion on a drug policy for ithaca college and a summary of this week's sports events. >> that is talent. >> good evening, i am bob iger. >> your voice. [ applause ] >> what is next, bob? 2021 is going to be coming up. what's next? >> i don't know what's next. as i said earlier, i've been at this for 45 years and had a great ride. i've loved every moment of it and i have no need to make any plans right now post-disney. maybe i'll just go to disneyland. they say, what are you going to do next? go to disneyland. >> that would be a good line? >> i'd have to wait in line though. [ laughter ] >> i got to tell you, it's been a heck of a ride and thank you for taking us along on that ride with you. >> pleasure. thank you for having me. >> ginger, "the ride of a lifetime" is out today. ginger, he was a weather guy. look, who knows? >> i should just hand over the clicker right now.

[ applause ] so i get five or ten -- but then there are the days when i just think, i don't know why i'm feeling so awful. i'm feeling kind of bad and so then i go home and i find something that i like and i go to the store and get a couple of flowers or go into the yard and pick somebody else's flowers.
8:35 am
