trump tweeted, he wants to see the aca, quote, terminated in this president has never suffered an unuttered thought. he gives us 25 tweets a day to tell us what's going through that fertile mind. we know what he thinks because he tells us what he thinks, and he made it clear that he wants his supreme court and this nominee to join him in elimin e eliminating the affordable care act. this is his litmus test. how many times have we heard it? how many times have we heard his criticism of chief justice roberts for failing to strike down obamacare. when he was running for president, then-candidate trump tweeted, quote, if i win the presidency, my judicial appointments will do the right thing unlike bush's appointee john roberts on obamacare. think what it would mean if the republicans wish to strike this down, all the people who would lose their coverage which we

have heard recounted repeatedly this morning and even more. republicans have been obsessed with repealing obamacare for years, but they don't have the votes to do it. they couldn't get it done in the house. they couldn't get it done in the senate thanks to three great republicans including john mccain, and now they've got to rely on the court to do their work. judge barrett, you're on the record. you wrote an article in which you criticized the case where chief justice roberts was the deciding vote of holding the aca. now your nomination moving forward at an unprecedented speed. so what's at stake? let me show you what's at stake here. i want you to meet kenny murray from tinnily park and his family. i had the privilege of meeting the family in my washington office. here's a picture of sue, ken, their daughter maddie and their son kenny. i was told their son kenny was

diagnos diagnosed in utero with heart defects. kenny had two open heart surgeries at advocate hospital outside of chicago, and he had 13 by the time he was 4 months of age. he was staying in the icu and his health bills reached 1 million dollars. when kenny was born in 2013, his dad's health insurance through his employer had a lifetime maximum cap of a million bucks. the affordable care act banned insurance companies from imposing these limits including on the health insurance. that plan went into 2013, six days before kenny's first surgery. if it weren't for the aca, they would have hit the limit in just four months. they told me they would have gone bankrupt. thanks to the affordable care act, kenny was able to get the care he needed.

this last picture i want to show you, here it is. wouldn't you want him on your team? i sure would. she gave me permission to share his story today. his mom said, quote, kenny is a real person whose life depends on the affordable care act. judge barrett, your nomination for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land comes before us under a cloud. you have been nominated by a president who shows contempt for the constitution, but does not hesitate to tell his loyal followers that you are being sent to the bench to do his political chores, abolish the aca, rule in his favor in the election contest and even more. you cannot feel good about a president cheapening this historic moment. the future of the affordable care act and so many other issues hang in the balance. voting rights, civil rights, the right to privacy and choice, environmental protection, gun safety laws, marriage equality, dreamers, work protection.

these are the stakes. if we wait just a few more days, we'll know what the american people have to say. >> thank you, senator durbin. senator lee, welcome back. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome, judge barrett. >> you're watching abc news life. the judiciary committee holding hearings for judge amy coney barrett continues there. an extraordinary time toens w ws this. not only because of the proximity to the election, but you see the judge sitting there with a face mask on. a reminder to all of us this is playing out in the middle of a pandemic. you heard lindsey graham at the top as the chair of this committee saying this is an election year. not saying considering. confirming was the word he used. what will happen is my democratic colleagues will say

this has never been done, and they're right in this regard. i don't think anybody has ever been confirmed in an election year, he said, but when justice ginsburg was asked about this, he says a president serves four years, not three. that's what senator graham said, but he did not offer the words given by justice ginsburg's family giving her final message communicated through her granddaughter saying, my most fervent wish is i won't be replaced until a new president is installed. wle let's go to terry moran. that's what republicans are going to do. senator graham said it himself. we are confirming -- not considering, but confirming despite the fact we are what 22 days now until election day. more than 5 million americans have cast their vote. >> reporter: they certainly are, david. in contrast with what ruth bader ginsburg apparently did say in her last days, and with tradition. no supreme court justice has ever been confirmed this close

to an election. this is unprecedented. in the past, congress did try to keep the court out of the election, and it is remarkable to see republicans here almost shying away from one of the great achievements in the history of the republican party. they have been trying for 50 years to take control of the court to overturn roe v. wade and other things like that, and in this hearing you already hear republicans say, we don't know how she would vote. we can't say, and it's an outrage to even presume, when that has been the republican party goal for decades. it is disingenuous to say the least, but they have the votes. >> they do have the votes. terry moran, as you point out, i want to bring in mary bruce our, our congressional correspondent. she's following the white house during the campaign trail and the debates. you heard a ranking member senator feinstein get right to it, and this was expected that democrats would talk at length about the affordable care act. senator feinstein saying the stakes are enormous.

most importantly health care coverage for millions of americans at stake. of course, we know the supreme court will take up that case, texas v. california. about a week after the election, affordable care act, coverage for pre-existing conditions for millions at stake, and they're pointing to what judge barrett has said previously about this, and in particular, her critique of chief justice john roberts. >> reporter: david, democrats here do not have any power to stop her from being confirmed. so instead, over and over again, you heard them arguing what is at stake here, and they argue the biggest issue on the line is health care. you heard many of the senators -- they're using stories of their constituents to put a face to this debate, arguing what americans could lose if obamacare is dismantled and of course, the court is set to hear one week after the election, a case that could invalidate the law. republicans say they will protect people with pre-existing conditions, but they do not have a plan yet to do so.

they have said they will put forth a plan, but we are waiting to see any of these details, and so democrats in many ways, you see them making this a lot more about the election in some ways than actually about amy coney barrett herself arguing that obamacare and health care for millions of americans is on the line in this decision. >> mary bruce, our thanks to you as well. cecilia vega, our senior white house correspondent also following the hearing along with us this morning. cecilia, somewhat of a political gamble here given that we will hear this drum beat over the affordable care act, whether or not coverage for pre-existing conditions for millions of americans could be at stake. we'll hear that every day between now and the election. president trump has made it clear he hopes this energizes a key part of his base. >> reporter: this is a bit of a head scratcher because he says republicans are giving democrats a great deal of time. he's basically saying they need to hurry up and do away with the theatrics and he wants them to

focus on the stimulus, but you'll remember just a few days ago, he told his team that was negotiating on capitol hill to abruptly end negotiations and focus on approving his nominee to the supreme court there which we're now seeing today. look. the trump campaign and president trump himself are hoping that what we're seeing today and we'll see over the rest of the week will be a little bit of a reset for his campaign because he certainly needs one just three weeks out from election day as we are seeing that he is trailing in so many polls, particularly over his handling of the coronavirus and americans overwhelmingly distressed about what he has said about the coronavirus and his handling of it. when it comes to evangelicals, and voters himself, and on the issue of abortion, and this will be a big one for them, and this will be a chance for the president. he would see it cement his legacy as it's a conservative

majority. you said it at the outset of this, this is no longer about a debate over whether amy coney barrett is the right person. lindsey graham said it himself. this is not about persuading each other. the lines have already been drawn in the sand here. >> deeply partisan, and the fact the latest abc news/ "washington post" poll shows that the majority of americans believe this should wait until after the election, until the american people have had their say. particularly given the fact that voting is already under way in this country. i want to bring in dan abrams, owe chief legal analyst because dan, as i mentioned earlier, just extraordinary to watch a nominee sit with a mask on, and reflect this moment in a country. we will hear from her later today, and as you and i have said before, these nominees are often heavily coached. she knows how partisan this is, and she also knows people will be watching her every word particularly when it comes to roe v. wade and the affordable care act. >> she is going to start by talking about her personal

story, about her faith. she will certainly talk about the rule of law, her respect for the supreme court. i expect she'll talk about her respect for precedent, what's called existing supreme court law, but when asked specifically about roe v. wade for the affordable care act, she will simply say it would be improper for her to answer any questions about a case that could be before her, and that is consistent with what we've seen from other supreme court nominees in recent history. they are coached. they are trained, but the goal is, do not make news. stay away from the controversial topics, and so it will certainly be better for her to be seen as not answering certain questions than it would to be answering them and potentially creating a controversy. in the end, this is political theater, sort of disguised as a legal evaluation, and we have to remember that as we're watching

all of this. >> political theater as dan abrams points out. given the fact we are 22 days out from election day. let's bring in sunny hostin as well. as dan points out, judge barrett will be extremely careful in her opening statement today. the questioning expected to begin tomorrow, but they are on a fast track here to name her to the supreme court, and as you heard senator lindsey graham, the chairman of this committee saying earlier this morning he fully expects confirmation to happen before election day. >> well, they do have the votes and so there's no question that she will be confirmed to the court. i think what's very interesting is many people thought they would hear a lot more about roe v. wade, but what we are hearing about over and over again is the affordable care act, and that is because we're in the middle of a global pandemic and 74% of voters want the senate to take on covid-19 relief before this hearing, and this confirmation, and so i think what we are

learning then that because of the global pandemic, the case challenging the affordable care act that's going to be heard november 10th is probably going to be the most important case in the 2021 supreme court session, and that is why you are hearing so many of the senators going back to the affordable care act, and what perhaps barrett's confirmation means to the affordable care act. >> sunny hostin with us. we'll be watching on "the view" in a little bit. sunny, our thanks to you. amy coney barrett sitting there with her mask on at the capitol here this morning. she is 48 years old, a mother of seven. her children accompanied her to capitol hill this morning. we saw images of them earlier. she had been a law professor at notre dame for 15 years before the president nominated her to the 7th circuit court of appeals. she was confirmed 55-43 at the time, but the vote is expected to be far more partisan as we near election day, though they do have the votes as we have pointed out here this morning.

we're going to continue to follow this hearing all day long on abc newslive, and a complete team coverage. our report on "world news tonight" a bit later today. i'll see same 2016 playbook that the american people that the american people rejected. amy? trail of destruction down south. let's go to ginger with the very latest on that and where this storm is heading next. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, amy. in case you missed it over the weekend, delta made landfall just 12 miles east of where laura did. so the video you're seeing there is from lake charles, louisiana hit by both. the blue tarps are from laura, and all that flooding from more than 9.65 inches of rain from delta. in georgia, the rest of it moved east and more than 8 inches of rain. now we have it in the midatlantic northeast. it's going to be a windy day with coastal flood advisories from delaware through new jersey and long island. t.j.? >> all right, ginger, thank you. we want to turn to

unprecedented finals last night. the lakers once again royalty in basketball. after that big game six win over jimmy butler and miami heat. our will reeve was watching. >> reporter: it was the longest season in nba history and probably the hardest and the strangest. the pandemic, and the passing of an icon, all of that, the lakers had to overcome to lift the trophy. >> lebron james putting on the finishing touches as he knocks down the three-pointer. >> reporter: this morning, an unforgettable and unprecedented championship for the los angeles lakers. >> this historic 2020 nba championship belongs to the los angeles lakers. the lakers conquer the bubble and banner number 17 will soon hang in the rafters. >> reporter: l.a. dominating underdog miami in game six. finals mvp lebron james winning

his fourth title. >> i want my respect. >> reporter: anthony davis winning his first. >> i told him i'll give everything i got to win a championship. he told me he'll do the same. we went out there, and we got it done. >> reporter: it's the first championship in a decade for l.a. the franchise now tied with the boston celtics for most all time, with 17. but this win this year was unlike any other in nba history. players isolated in a bubble away from family. after the victory, james facetiming with his mother. >> hey, mama. you are the reason i do this. >> reporter: sending this message to the fans back in california. >> we can't wait to get back to l.a. to celebrate with y'all. >> reporter: back in l.a., chaotic scenes surrounding the celebrations at staples center. walls of cars and fans flooding intersections, stopping traffic. one fan setting a box of fireworks off in the road. some lapd officers struck with

projectiles from the crowd. responding with nonlethal rounds. the lakers' latest triumph was made extra sweet and poignant, paying tribute to fallen laker legend kobe bryant who along with friends and his daughter, gianna, died in a tragic helicopter crash in january. >> he was a big brother to all of us, man. we did this for him. >> reporter: the lakers had dedicated their season and the title to bryant, whose wife vanessa posted a tribute to kobe. and the manager saying in part, saying, congratulations, uncle p. go lakers. wish kobe and gigi were here to see this. >> congratulations to the nba for pulling off the whole bubble. the nba regular season was supposed to start right about now. >> take a breath. >> regroup in early '21. >> will, thank you so much. >> i got friends and family in southern california losing their minds still this morning. congratulations to them.

we'll have much more coming up on the nba champs in our next hour. also, we've got a lot of other headlines we're following this morning including the push to re-open overseas travel right before the holidays. and that alleged murder for hire plot. the man who was shot nine times speaking out exclusively this morning after his ex-wife and two teenagers were arrested. but first, let's go back to ginger. >> amy, thank you. you can see it wrapping up and there were ten reported tornadoes with the remnants of delta. there was damage from there, and there were injuries by the way to south carolina where we saw some of those reported tornadoes. back in alabama too, now that action moves into the mid-atlantic and you'll get to your select cities sponsored by subaru. ru.

election. after a fatal shooting at dueling protests in denver, a security guard hired by a tv news station is behind bars facing first-degree murder charges. the 49-year-old victim was shot once and died at the hospital. authorities say the suspect was not licensed to work as an armed private security guard in denver. and dallas cowboys quarterback dak prescott undergoing surgery last night after a devastating injury. the video tough to watch. this is during the team's win over the giants. prescott emotional there, suffering a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle. his brother tweeting a picture of them at the hospital writing, he'll be back stronger than ever. just an awful injury. we wish him well. >> love seeing that smile. we wish him well. we turn to the big plans to restart overseas air travel stalled by the coronavirus. the u.s. reportedly looking to increase the availability of covid tests and re-open flights between new york and london.

our transportation correspondent gio benitez is at new york's laguardia airport. a lot of people wanting this for a while. gio, this could come just in times for the holidays? >> reporter: amy, this is in the early stages, but right now some airports are offering up their own testing. this morning, a push to re-open travel between new york and london possibly before the holidays. airline executives tell abc news are working with federal authorities on creating an air bridge between the two cities where travelers would be tested before flying it. >> it will be a great way to open the borders and the economy. >> reporter: this as tampa international airport becomes the first in the nation to offer covid tests to all travels. no matter where they're going. >> we've done about 80 people a day. our peak day was about 140 people on one day. >> reporter: airports and airlines hope testing could get more people in the air.

but now, the big question -- which test should we be using? >> we're still looking for that holy grail in testing which is highly accurate, highly sensitive, but the sensitivity doesn't last weeks or months, is cheap and has a rapid turnaround time. >> reporter: experts say the gold standard is the pcr. it looks at the genetic material of the virus, making it highly accurate, but more expensive with longer wait times for results, taking on average two to three days assuming there's no backlog. >> you can detect dead virus for months after a patient has recovered. >> reporter: tests right now only detect if you have virus particles in your system, not whether or not you're contagious. the antigen test, often called a rapid test, is a newer test that looks at proteins on the outside of the virus.

it doesn't have to be shipped off to a lab. turnaround time is as fast as 15 minutes. >> the turnaround time is quick, 15 minutes. it's inexpensive. it can be done at a point of care. >> reporter: dr. ellerin says these tests aren't super sensitive and don't pick up patients with a low amount of virus in their systems. as for testing at home, a majority of those tests are nose swabs but some labs have authorized saliva screenings. the nba is part of the group to use them. >> it's a lot better than the q-tip up your nose. >> reporter: now when it comes to airport testing right now, it's optional. you'll have to pay for it out of pocket. in tampa the rapid test costs about 60 bucks, the pcr 120. t.j.? >> all right, gio, thank you so much for that. we want to turn to an alleged murder for hire plot. police have now arrested a woman and two 17-year-olds in connection with an attack on her ex-husband who was shot nine

times in front of his home in july. he survived and is speaking out this morning saying he's not surprised by the arrest. our eva pilgrim joins us with more on this bizarre story. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, t.j. this is a crazy story. from the day that barron lee was gunned down he says there was only one person in his mind that he thought was responsible for this. this morning, his ex-wife is expected to be charged for trying to have him killed. an alleged murder for hire plot exposed. this morning, sharon kelly waking up behind bars after allegedly offering a 17-year-old thousands of dollars to kill her ex-husband. >> i looked to the right and i saw somebody in a mask running towards me. >> reporter: barron lee says he's been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife. in july, police say a

forwarded himself an email to a link to the gps's webpage. >> the alleged suspects went to the vehicle. looked underneath and there was the gps tracker. >> reporter: this morning, he's grateful he survived and is still here to raise his family. >> i don't think there's many people shot as many times as i have and sitting here talking and breathing. appreciate that. >> reporter: and kelly is expected to appear in court later this week. she has not yet been charged. so she's not entered a plea. whit? >> thankfully that man survived. eva, thank you so much. we appreciate it. now to that wild ride caught on camera. an 11-year-old on a school bus isn't unusual, but it is when the child is behind the wheel. leading the police on a high-speed chase. erielle reshef joins us with more on that story. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: police say that

together -- it has chipotle and some apple cider in there. why the apple cider? there's a reason for that. >> you know, when i think pork, i think apples. lots of the dishes i do have whole fruit in it as well. in this case i'm getting the flavor of the apples without the chunkiness of the fruit. i'm using apple cider vinegar, apple cider, apple cider syrup, all things fall. the chipotle is a chili that's already smoked. it gives a little smokey flavor. you can buy the chipotle whole as i did and i ground them in a spice grinder with coriander seed. or you can buy the chipotle powder as well. this is a simple rub of chipotle, salt and coriander. >> nancy, keep cooking and walking us through it. we really smell the balsamic

vinegar as well. tell us how that's a nice compliment to the syrup you're highlighting. >> the balsamic vinegar is in there because of the color. but i'm using apple cider vinegar and apple cider itself in my reduction and then, the balsamic is there for the color because if you're going to use straight apple cider syrup, such as this, you can see it's a very dark syrupy color. so that's what that vinegar is in there for the balsamic. this takes about 35, 40 minutes to reduce. so i'm going to get that reducing. this is before i'm starting my pork. then i'm going to go ahead and do my onions. the onions i'm cooking in apple cider vinegar.

and i'm also going to add -- it's not in the recipe -- but if you're as lucky as i am to have rosemary growing in your garden and to have bay leaves, go ahead and add those. it will give it a great, great smell. look at me. i'm fighting with my -- >> see that happens to me all the time. it's not just my oven. >> it's not just your stove. couple bay leaves in there. get those onions in there cooking. >> so the onions are -- >> we cook them until they're softened. >> the onions are cooking. nancy, i'm curious, the meat, you put the rub in. what do you do with the meat now?

>> okay, so the meat i've had out for about half an hour, 40 minutes, just to come up to temperature. therefore i know that when i cook it -- and i like to cook my pork just slightly pink. it won't be cold in the center. so these have been sitting out. >> nancy, forgive us. we're out of time. we're eating the food and enjoying it. you can get the recipe on our website. the book is available tomorrow. thank you so much. ginger, over to you. next time i get delivery, right? now to a new series looking at people taken in by claims and promises that prove too good to be true. from identity fraud to misleading romance, to the high-profile college admission schedule, "the con" is the name of the show hosted by whoopi goldberg. it shows how victims were lured costing them financially and
