you can even see a footprint in the corner. >> we have the construction going on and unfortunately the hatch that they got through opened up into an area that was covered by construction fencing, not security fencing, not the constantine wire, the barbed wire that most people know about. >> reporter: using that security lapse the two men escaped shedding their jail clothes just outside the fencing. both were set to face trial next year. obviously, they didn't want to wait that long. instead they took advantage of that security lapse. you heard the sheriff mentioning not having to go through this wire. instead, making it over this construction fence we're told both of the suspects are from right here in salinas and should be considered armed daer michael. >>. we'll turn now to the urgent manhunt for the murderers of an american family traveling to a wedding in mexico when they were ambushed on the way.

>> reporter: an awful story. the details still coming in but we've spoken to relatives who tell us their family was attacked, kidnapped and killed on their way to that wedding. at least three women and six children were killed during an ambush in northern mexico less than 100 miles from the u.s. border. >> someone came upon the vehicle, one of the vehicles was burning, and discovered that it was my brother's suburban. >> reporter: the associated press obtained this video which it says shows a burned out vehicle that may belong to the family killed in the attack. relatives say one of the burned out suvs contained the remains of a woman and her four children. the family members who were on their way to a wedding are part rorter: according to y olt wn mexican officials, securities forces reinforced with national guard, army, and state police troops are investigating the killings which the family

believes could be a case of mistaken identity. >> we were always told if you're not in the mafia you'll be safe. they won't hurt you. they won't bother you. after this incident i know that is not true. >> reporter: three suvs set out from la mora as the convey came under fire. some of the children managed to escape. >> the oldest who was 13, he hid the rest of the kids behind a tree on the side of the road and walked back to our community to get help. >> reporter: now president trump treating this morning, if mexico needs helps in cleaning out these monsters the united states stands ready, willing and able to get involved and do the job quickly and e effectively. the governor of sonora says she'll do everything to make sure that this does not go unpunished.

out a statement in support of ambassador yovanovitch? >> george, again, i'm not going to talk about private conversations i had with my most >> reporter: but mckinley's testimony contradicts the secretary saying he raised concerns with pompeo three times. mckinley resigned in protest. now, today the releases will continue. later, we will see two more witness transcripts including ambassador sondland and the former special envoy to ukraine kurt volker and, of course, we are still expecting open hearings to begin sometime soon. >> mary, that rudy giuliani associate, lev parnas, who was actually indicted last month, now signaling he's going to comply with congressional subpoenas? >> reporter: yeah, george, lev parnas refused initially to speak to investigators but now his new lawyer tells us he is willing to comply with the subpoena. it comes after president trump insisted that he did not know lev parnas. that apparently did not go over well. his lawyer telling "the new york times," quote, mr. parnas was very upset by president trump's plainly false statement that he did not know him, and now,

george, lev parnas is ready to testify. >> okay, mary, thanks very much. all this comes as our latest poll with "the washington post" shows the top democratic contenders extending their leads over president trump. if the election were held today joe biden and bernie sanders beat the pre all increased their leads since july. other warning signs for the president, 6 in 10 americans say he's not honest and trustworthy, that he lacks the right personality and temperament and doesn't understand their problems. it is election day also this year with key races in four states. president trump is campaigning hard to try to keep the governor's seats in mississippi and kentucky for the gop and our linsey davis is in louisville where the president held a rally last night. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. it is a cold and wet morning in louisville but still as you can see a steady stream of voters

coming in today. people know that this is a tight race for the governor's office, that there are a lot of eyeballs on what happens here in kentucky and certainly a lot at stake. so in one corner you have the republican incumbent matt bevin against his challenger, the democratic attorney general, andy beshear. now, many say that the ballots being cast here is going way beyond kentucky politics. bevin who is among the most unpopular governors has tried to really align himself with president trump and his signal is that a vote for bevin is a vote against president trump. trump and kentucky is largely considered to be a red state. president trump wong the election here by 30 points but beshear has a history here as well. his father was a two-term democratic governor who preceded bevin and beshear is trying to focus locally, specifically on education and health care, two issues where bevin has alienated many voters and it's also a bit of a bellwether for mitch mcconnell's own campaign for next year, a democratic victory

in kentucky could be seen as a big sign of trouble, not just for mcconnell but for the republican party at large in 2020, george. >> all right, linsey, and while you were talking democrats are on the move in virginia and the president sent out a tweet telling voters in virginia to vote republican. thanks very much for that. michael. now we turn to that weather whiplash. after record heat, the coldest temperatures of the season and possible snow are on the way for millions from the midwest to the northeast. ginger is doing what she's doing best, tracking the very latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. two storms and a cold snap from the wisconsin dells back through austin, minnesota. there's this area that's going to get snow tonight through tomorrow. let's spotlight wisconsin because they're going to take the brunt of it here, especially southern wisconsin. we put the streamlines, which represent where that low pressure system, where the winds at the surface will be. you see how it wraps up right into lacrosse into that bend. well, that's going to be by tomorrow morning. the winter wea means if you are traveling through southern wisconsin or kind of central there, madison or milwaukee, you're going to end up with a potential for two

inches to four inches of snow going into early tomorrow morning. so it's really kind of an overnight deal. interstate 94 and 90 will be a little bit slick. that's just storm one. i have to show you storm two which could bring flooding to the ozarks down to arkansas and oklahoma right to the northeast, where it's going to meet that super cold air, robin, and bring us flakes of snow especially interior new england and western new york. >> on the watch-out. okay, thank you, ginger. now to a terror arrest in colorado. the fbi taking a 27-year-old into custody accusing him of plotting to bomb a synagogue. the fbi saying he admitted planning the attack as part of what he called, quote, a racial holy war. clayton sandell is at that synagogue in colorado with the latest. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. temple emanuel is the second oldest synagogue here in colorado, built in 1900, now at the center of a domestic terrorism plot. authorities say a suspected white supremacist, 27-year-old richard holzer, caught the attention of the fbi after using multiple facebook accounts to spread his hatred of jews and desire to blow up this

synagogue. now on friday, undercover agents say they provided the suspect with replica pipe bombs and dynamite. they were harmless but the fbi says his intentions were real. holzer is charged with a hate crime and could face 20 years in federal prison. as for this synagogue, they say nowadays they have to take security very seriously and quite grateful that this was stopped before it went too far. george. >> thank goodness that happened. thanks very much. we turn now to a battle brewing over a new book taking on president trump. the author is anonymous. the senior official who described the resistance inside the administration in a "new york times" essay last year and the book titled "a warning" is due out later this month, but the justice department has now sent a warning of its own to the book's publisher. our senior national correspondent terry moran has the story. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right. the department of justice has written the publisher of this book and the author's agents

demanding that they turn over information that could reveal who this, quote, senior administration official is. as you say, last year this official wrote that article in "the new york times" painting a devastating portrait of the president, claiming to be a member of the resistance at the top levels inside the administration. trump was enraged. he called that treason and so the justice department letter yesterday says we request that you immediately provide us with your representations that the author did not sign any nondisclosure agreement and that the author did not have any access to classified information. that information, obviously, could reveal this person's identity. the book's publisher said they will stand by their agreement to keep the confidentiality of this author. so stay tuned on this. this could end up in court. >> stay tuned also, terry, on that fight over the president's tax returns now may be heading to the supreme court after a key court ruling yesterday. >> reporter: that's right. the manhattan district attorney wants the president's tax returns. so he issued a subpoena, not to the president himself but to the president's personal accountants. the president objected and the federal appeals court yesterday

rejected the president's argument saying that not even presidents have the power to block a subpoena to a third party from a grand jury. so the president is going to take this to the supreme court, it looks like. two other presidents have tried to get out of legal processes in the supreme court. richard nixon, bill clinton, they both lost. it could be 0 for 3 for presidents if the president takes it to this supreme court. >> terry moran, thanks very much. now to the travel nightmare that is unfolding at airports. it has nothing to do with planes. new rules for ride share and taxi pickups are leaving passengers waiting potentially hours to get home, something matt gutman saw firsthand at l.a.x. and he has the latest. >> reporter: long lines at the airport are nothing new. but here at l.a.x., these weary travelers aren't waiting to board a plane.of tking lot l.a.x. recently rolled out a new pickup system which funnels taxi and ride-share passengers from the terminals to an external parking lot, appropriately named laxit, the idea was to

streamline the process as it undergoes construction. the result -- chaos. many venting on social media. >> pretty terrible. >> logistically it takes up so much time and people are confused. >> reporter: some passengers claim to have waited in line for upwards of three hours trying to catch their ride. in the good old days, this is where you pick up your uber, but no more. now, l.a.x. shuttle. so i jumped on board myself to see what travelers here are up against and trekking through the lot i found more than just taxis and ride shares. look at this, there are food trucks here. this is not peak time. this should be the quietest, most mellow time of day but it's not. the wait, just as long as it looked. it's about 15 minutes since i hit the rideshare number. it's been 23 minutes. 27 minutes and we're almost at the end of the line.

>> you've been waiting a long time? >> reporter: airports are rolling out similar plans including boston's logan airport where it's actually been an easier transition. >> i like it better. more control. >> reporter: learning from the past two days l.a.x. executive michael christianson says starting this morning they're changing traffic patterns and creating new lots for certain rideshares. >> the traffic in and around l.a.x. has always been challenging. we made some pretty big changes here and those changes are taking some adjustments. >> reporter: and they hope to begin that expansion tomorrow. yesterday in this area about the size of a football field they had 25,000 cars in it. >>ksmainglso mea higsts abouut

new biopic about the legendary singer. the resemblance is uncanny and aretha must have seen something before she passed in august of last year. she personally chose jennifer to play her in this movie. something hudson has said will be a huge task. weant itapau ]say the film re sm and this, an early christmas gift from harry styles. the former one direction front man announcing he is dropping a brand-new album this december. the consensus on falling in love with this, that's harry's look on the cover of the album and his new single, they love it. harry dropped it. it's called "lights up" and though he hasn't shared anything else that's on the new album --

that's the video for the first song, he hasn't shared anything else yet but did allow one person to listen to it. stevie nicks. the fleetwood mac singer telling a reporter she has heard the entire album saying it's incredible and, quote, we aren't ready for it. >> wow. >> yeah, that's a lot. if you're wondering why stevie nicks and harry styles, they became friends a few years ago and he actually inducted her into the rock & roll hall of fame earlier this year. they are dear friends. we say we are ready, harry. bring it on. the album called "fine line" comes out december 13th. cannot wait.

so it appeared in the journal jama pediatrics and took these preschoolers. they did certain types of mris, regular mris, functional mris and a type of mri called dti showed them video and it was the first study that actually showed a change in the structure of their brain, the white matter which is the part of the brain that sends signals from one side or one part to another. so we don't know the significance of this yet. we don't know whether this is a bad thing or a good thing. but the first time that a study actually showed that watching a screen can produce changes in the structure of the brain. >> there are some positive uses when it comes to screen time and toddlers. >> yeah, absolutely, and we don't hear about that that often. but there are some studies that show improvement in motor function, particularly fine motor skills with video games, actually leading to some things that could be good surgical skills so, again, i think the key is moderation and it's not one size fits all. you have to tailor this to the right age group. >> right. so the flip side, what are the

risks of too much screen time? >> listen, this is on the forefront of the american academy of pediatrics and they have new guidelines and basically for babies and toddlers under 18 months they are clear, video-chatting only. they want this to be used to communicate with people who can't actually be with the toddler. 18 to 24 months high-quality programming only and watch it together. don't park your toddler in front of the screen. >> unless it's "good morning america." >> of course. that goes without saying. and then 2 to 5 years old, a maximum of one hour a day. but, again, in the world of psychology, there's a whole area that says we're hearing too much negative with heavy use, yes, but with moderation, it can be good. >> with everything, moderation. >> that's correct. >> thanks so much. >> you bet. >> michael. thank you, robin. now to the holiday shopping season. it's a week shorter this year and already kicking into high gear. amazon, walmart and more announcing new delivery deals

don't assume amazon's offer right now isn't going to get better. >> reporter: with experts anticipating spending online to hit an all-time high of $143.7 billion this holiday season, they're not the only ones trying to stay competitive in the delivery space. walmart offering free delivery for items totaling $35 and up with no membership fee. and target offering same day delivery with its shipped plan. so with all these deals fighting for your dollar, how can you make sure you're getting the most for your money? >> don't panic if you see all the bargains right now and you don't know what you want to buy. there will be plenty more bargains in the run-up to christmas. >> that is right. the deals, they tend to get better the closer you get to christmas and actual black friday but keep in mind, with so many people ordering online the sooner that you make that order, the more likely you are to have a stress-free holiday, michael. there's a lot of deliveries now.

very easy to make. you don't have to clean it. it's in that bag. this is some hazelnuts i'm putting in here. usually you do pine nuts. they're so expensive so just put some hazelnuts in there and the spinach and hazelnut go together. so that's a little bit of lemon juice and some lemon zest. and then strahan is going to come back to the giants and give me some oil. >> yeah. >> a little bit of garlic, i'm sorry. it's just -- we need you. >> not all of that? >> all of it, ye.rlclovesic, tht is some cheese, some parm, pecorino romano. put it all in there. >> i like pecorino. >> y'all ready? you just pulse it. pulse for your life. it comes together. >> that's it. pulse away. >> that you end up with. >> we've got the pasta and cooked it just like the package told us to. you get a little pesto over the top and then you just get in there and i like to tell people, you know, especially with something like the ravioli,
