7:02 am
and good morning, america. so great to have you with us on a saturday. eva is on maternity leave but once again we're thrilled to have gio benitez back at the desk and for the first time mona kosar abdi is with us. she anchors our early morning broadcast here at abc news, so this is technically sleeping in for you. is that right? >> i don't know what this is, but i know there are a lot of people at home right now trying to figure out if it's monday through friday right now, if they're late to work, if they are still sleeping past 2:00 a.m. no, this is usually bedtime for me, so if you see me sleeping, just give me a judge. >> that's what the coffee is for. great to have you and, gio, great to have you back. we have a busy morning. a lot of news to talk about beginning with the intense reaction on both sides of the kyle rittenhouse acquittal. there were small peaceful protests outside the courtside in kenosha, wisconsin, overnight following the verdict. >> the 18-year-old cleared of
7:03 am
all charges in the shootings of three people, rittenhouse with an emotional reaction in court, seen nearly collapsing after the verdict was read. later seen smiling as he drove away from the courthouse. >> but the reaction was very different for the families of those killed by rittenhouse who shared their heartbreak and anger. we begin our coverage with abc senior national correspondent terry moran in kenosha this morning. terry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, mona. kenosha is quiet this morning, it's been quiet all night. this verdict wasn't unexpected. you could feel it coming. but across the country and here in this city, emotional reactions were so intense. on one side, joy and relief. and on the other, sorrow, even despa despair. this morning, kyle rittenhouse is a free man. >> the first count, joseph rosenbaum, we the jury find the defendant kyle h. rittenhouse not guilty. as to the second count of the information, richard mcginnis, we the jury find the defendant kyle h. rittenhouse not guilty.
7:04 am
>> reporter: the 18-year-old trembling with emotion as all five counts were read out. >> as to the fifth count of the information, gaige grosskreutz, we the jury find the defendant kyle h. rittenhouse not guilty. >> reporter: the verdict from the jury unanimous. not guilty on all charges. moments after the verdict, rittenhouse shared his relief as seen in this tucker carlson originals trailer. >> how do you feel, man? >> the jury reached the correct verdict. self-defense is not illegal and i believe they came to the correct verdict. >> reporter: the jurors, seven women and five men, sifted the evidence and law deliberating for roughly 26 hours. rittenhouse claimed self-defense after he shot and killed joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber and wounded gaige grosskreutz during a protest last year over the police shooting of jacob blake. after the verdict rosenbaum's fiancee spoke out. >> in this case it feels like the victims' lives don't matter and i don't think that's acceptable and that's what's on my heart today.
7:05 am
>> reporter: and the parents of anthony huber echoed that pain. it sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street. this trial sparked a national debate about self-defense and vigilantism. rittenhouse traveled across state lines and armed himself with an rr-15 choosing to go to those protests. >> how is he a hero when you take graffiti off the walls and protect the police? kyle was a hero well before he raised a gun in self-defense. >> reporter: for many black americans who believe a black man who would have done what rittenhouse did would have been treated differently in court and on those streets, this verdict was painful. >> today the scales of justice was weighed in the hands of the oppressor. the scales of justice did not serve to be equal today.
7:06 am
the scales of justice did not prove that equality exists here in america. >> reporter: president biden who called for peace responded just moments after the verdict expressing his faith in the justice system. >> i stand by what the jury has concluded. the jury system works, and we have to abide by it. >> reporter: and overnight there were scattered protests across the country. in kenosha a few dozen demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse. in portland, oregon, the sheriff's office declared a riot. protesters smashed the windows of some businesses. >> we stand with kenosha. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: while in new york city demonstrators marched across the brooklyn bridge and gathered outside the barclay center protesting the acquittal. immediately after the verdict, kyle rittenhouse and his family left kenosha to spend some private time together and even though he was acquitted of the criminal charges he could still face legal consequences if the families of the people that he shot choose, they could bring wrongful death actions, a civil
7:07 am
action in court so kyle rittenhouse may still 15 legal issues going forward, whit. >> all right, terry moran for us, thank you once again for all of your coverage throughout the trial. we do turn for more joined by the attorney who defended kyle rittenhouse during the trial, mark richards. mark, good morning to you. it's good to have you. so we saw the emotional response from kyle rittenhouse when the verdict was read. how is he absorbing all of this this morning, and did you give him any advice as he left the courtroom? -- that courtroom not knowing whether he'd be free or whether he'd be going to prison for the bulk of the rest of his life and he was freed and he's got a lot of processing and a lot to internalize at this point. >> how critical was it to put kyle on the stand and have him testify in his own defense? >> you know, i've heard from everybody that that was a risky
7:08 am
move and things like that. i don't think he could have won without taking the witness stand and telling his story. we tried two mock trials and the one where kyle testified, he did substantially better than the one where he didn't with the mock juries. he acquitted himself well on the witness stand. he didn't have baggage that a lot of sometimes criminal defendants have. he had no prior records, a clean history. it was a definite net plus. >> so we noted earlier that the family of anthony huber, one of the men killed, said in a statement that the verdict, quote, sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street. do you worry about how this verdict will be received across the country? >> well, it's going to be received by how people want to perceive it. there's probably half the community who is very pro-kyle
7:09 am
and supports what he did, and there's people on the other side who want to make this something that it isn't. kyle rittenhouse was asked to go there and help protect people's property after looting and burning the night before. he was there. he had as much right to be there as anyone else, and when mr. rosenbaum attacked him and then the mob came after him, he protected himself, and that's legal in the state of wisconsin and most places in the united states. >> now, you have said, though, that kyle didn't do anything wrong that night legally, and you're just pointing that out. but has kyle ever expressed to you that it was a mistake to arm himself and walk into that volatile situation? >> you know, everybody wants kyle to show some contrition and say he's sorry. hindsight is 20/20, and when i've talked to kyle, if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn't go there. but that clock cannot be unwound.
7:10 am
what happened happened, and we have to live in the real world, not what we wish happened. >> mark richards, thank you for your time this morning. we do appreciate it. gio, over to you. >> have a good day. >> all right, whit, thank you. and we're going to turn now to the pandemic. the rush to get a booster shot is on after the cdc approved the extra dose for all adults, cvs and walgreens saying they are ready to offer the boosters at their pharmacies today. the move comes as covid-19 cases are rising across the country. the daily case average is up about 16% just in the last week. abc's elwyn lopez has more. >> reporter: this morning, pfizer and moderna booster shots are prepped and ready to go into the arms of anyone 18 and older. the rollout for all adults coming after the fda and the cdc gave the go ahead for those fully vaccinated at least six months after the second dose. >> i am really glad that we have clarity and streamlining of the recommendations so that all americans can understand the vaccines that are recommended for them. >> reporter: and ahead of a possible winter surge, people
7:11 am
across the country racing to get that extra shot before the holidays. in california, that added dose of protection is in high demand. >> major goal accomplished. that's how i feel today. >> reporter: this as at least 30 states are seeing an uptick of covid cases of at least 10% or more in the past two weeks. michigan now reporting more cases than at any other point in the pandemic holding the nation's highest infection rate. health experts say vaccinating those without their first shot is key to ending the pandemic. >> the real concern is that right now michigan, our hospital, we're on this sort of exponential rise. it's the same kind of spikes we saw in the spring. >> reporter: in new york state julie says everyone in her household was hit with covid in october. >> there was a fork in the road, and two of us got off easy and the other two didn't. >> reporter: the mother of four losing her 27-year-old son and husband of nearly 30 years to
7:12 am
the virus just six days apart. >> i would say to anyone who is vaccine hesitant like my guys were, they were confident they could handle this from home, please consider getting vaccinated. >> reporter: and julie told me her husband and son were healthy with no pre-existing health conditions, and now she's sharing their story in hopes that no other family goes through what they're dealing with right now. gio? >> elwyn, such a tragic story. thank you so much for that important story and joining us now here is abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. thank you for being here on a saturday morning. >> good to be here with you, gio. >> an important conversation. let's start. elwyn was talking about rising hospitalizations and cases. we are seeing these boosters now and that possible winter surge coming, so what impact could this have? >> well, the real answer and the honest scientific and medical answer is we don't really know yet because with so much as we've seen in this pandemic, time will tell. we're early on and obviously a majority of the people who have been vaccinated still have not received their boosters.
7:13 am
but the hope is that it will reduce those breakthrough cases, reduce hospitalizations, reduce deaths, reduce transmission and severe illness. so i mean science does suggest that more people who have that sustained protection will do better, and that means we will all do better. >> 14 days after the second dose, that is what it's meant to be fully vaccinated. >> right. >> at least until now, right? i mean because now we have a booster and talking about a third dose so does the definition need to change? >> it may and a lot of people are asking what does fully vaccinated mean? we've heard the cdc director dr. rochelle walensky say that at this time fully vaccinated means 14 days after your second dose of either pfizer or moderna or 14 days after your single dose of j&j. but remember here, gio, we don't know if we're not using the right terminology. is this a booster or is this really an additional dose in a series? remember, we need to study
7:14 am
immune levels, antibody levels, infections to get the answer to that. it may be that a year from now you and i are sitting here saying a full dose of pfizer is actually three doses and not two. so right now the definition of fully vaccinated has not changed but she did leave the door open to change in the future. >> you know, i hear this question all the time, you know, can you mix the vaccines? yave e te can you mix that booster and use a different brand? >> so, again, we have to lean into the science and the cdc and the fda have given the green light for the so-called mix and match. there's no risk to doing so. it's unclear yet whether the data shows a clear benefit of doing that if you've gotten j&j to get an mrna as your additional dose, but, again, the key point is get what is logistically feasible for yo because the science is clear that that booster, whether you call it a booster or additional dose, is helpful.
7:15 am
>> dr. jen ashton, so good to have you here and you'll be back in our second hour. >> yes, i will. >> mona? now to the big week in washington with president biden's build back better bill passing the house. and the president taking a trip to the doctor for his annual health checkup. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks joins us with more now. good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: mona, good morning. it's actually president biden's 79th birthday today. he is the oldest serving american president and yesterday he got his first formal physical since taking office. unlike the trump white house, the president's team did release a quite thorough health summary after the president's doctor's visit. the president's physician said that he was healthy, vigorous and fit to successfully execute the duties of his office. the physician did say they looked into the president's gait, his walk that's been more strained lately and they said they ruled out any neurological issues maybe causing that and also looked into the fact he seems to be clearing his throat a lot lately when he's talking. but probably the most interesting part of the day while the president was under anesthesia for his colonoscopy,
7:16 am
vice president kamala harris, she assumed the responsibilities of acting commander in chief. so a little bit of history there, mona. she's obviously the first woman to take on that role. >> a historic moment indeed, maryalice. and what's the reaction to the big vote on the spending bill in the house? >> reporter: democrats were all smiles yesterday after the house passed that build back better bill, but obviously this is just the first step. the big question, the big hurdle for the president will still be if he can get all 50 democratic senators on board. this bill would provide hundreds of billions of dollars for fighting climate change, providing for housing, universal pre-k. democrats did get a little bit of a win this week. the congressional budget office said the bill is, in fact, almost fully paid for with new taxes and revenues but a big question still around paid maternity leave. the house version of the bill did include that proposal, which would be historic. the country has never had a paid maternity leave program but it is just not clear if the hold-outs in the senate will go along with that. the white house says the president will keep pushing. whit? >> as you know, still facing
7:17 am
those challenges in the senate, maryalice, thank you. we want to turn to other news we're following this morning. a bombshell development in the case against elizabeth holmes, the former ceo of theranos. she has taken the stand in her own criminal trial. holmes is facing 11 federal fraud charges over allegations that she knowingly misled investors, physicians and patients about her company's blood testing capabilities to the tune of billions of dollars. and, whit, it was raining cash on an interstate in carlsbad, california. an armored vehicle heading to the federal reserve from a local bank dropped two bags of money on the freeway, drivers jumping out of their cars to grab the bills. no word on how much money fell out. but, listen up, authorities say people need to return the money or they face possible charges. two people are already under arrest, and police are warning everyone they've got the video so they know who you are. but look at that. >> that was one heck of a scene. i will tell you, though, authorities do track people down. we have seen incidents like that before. that is not free money.
7:18 am
folk, tell them they will track you down and people could face charges. >> i was just about to say born and raised in san diego, that has never happened to me. the only thing i've gotten is parking tickets. now that i know you get tracked down, i'm okay. it is time for the weather with rob marciano. rob, i thought it never rains in southern california, but it's raining cash. >> exactly. you know, making it rain. there is a picture on the dark web of whit johnson with a skateboard and a handful of cash running down the 10. >> well, but that wasn't this incident. that was a different one. >> different rules, different times. >> not true. >> statue of limitations for sure. check this out. lake-effect snow here, half a foot or so, but at times white-out conditions. so cold air coming over the top of warm lakes that give you lake-effect snow. in lyndon, vermont, lyndon state university has a nice meteorology program there and you'll get more in the way of rain with this next system coming in. this looked to be worse than it is going to be, so we'll take that as we head towards the holiday. should be clear by tuesday
7:19 am
morning, but certainly cool and windy behind this. temperatures will be at or below average heading into the holiday on wednesday. that's a check on what's lisa: good morning. san rafael really foggy so be careful. the clouds will lift and we have a sunny and mild afternoon. not only for your saturday but the entire weekend. thanksgiving looking good, just a little bit cooler with high clouds. 65 today in oakland, 67 fremont, upper 60's san jose and santa rosa and the accuweather 7 day forecast nice and sunny for sunday. pp saturday before thanksgiving, a lot of big football games today and generally speaking nice fall weather across the country. so enjoy your saturday. >> i notice you got out of "gameday." >> i didn't get out of it. i volunteered to go. there's bigger fish to fry apparently. >> got it. always a good time. rob, thank you very much.
7:20 am
another great story we're turning to here, a football team from a high school for the deaf is heading to the california state championships after winning a big game overnight. janai norman shows us how these players are proving that being deaf is not a disadvantage on the gridiron. >> reporter: that winning moment for the cubs overnight as they won the division championship. screaming fans cheering for the undefeated team, but most of the players that worked tirelessly to win couldn't hear them. every member of the california school for the deaf riverside's football team is hard of hearing or deaf. >> translator: we can do anything. deaf people can do anything. we're not this stereotype that's out there. >> reporter: they're the only all-deaf public high school team in southern california and signed the plays to each other without the other team understanding. their coach also using sign language from the sidelines. >> translator: we've got so many good players, honestly, not just players but we got students too,
7:21 am
they're great kids. whatever i say they're doing it. it makes coaching so easy for me. it's just been amazing, it really has. >> reporter: this school has never had a winning season. sometimes going whole seasons without a win. >> translator: the world looks at csdr like, oh, they stink. their program is awful. you know, they never had a good season. here we are, okay, that's fired us up, and now we're destroying every game. we're showing the world we can play. >> reporter: actions speaking loudest overnight. the team celebrating their win as they get ready to head to state. next week expecting to prove once again that being deaf is not a weakness. >> we're not done. one more game. we're looking for that ring. one more game. >> translator: this is history for us. we have one more. we're not done. we have unfinished business. the championship is on the way. >> they are so motivated. hard to not love that team showing, of course, that actions speak louder than words. guys? >> fantastic. i love the attitude too.
7:22 am
they got the swagger. you can tell they're feeling it. >> now they want the ring. >> absolutely. janai, thank you so much. we appreciate it. still ahead here, more intense reaction overnight to the acquittal of kyle rittenhouse. john huber whose son was shot and killed by rittenhouse joins us live for his first interview since the verdict was announced. and we'll have more on that missing chinese tennis star. do the new images prove she's safe? stick around.

that we're following this morning and rapping right now, questions about new images of that missing chinese tennis star, peng shuai, amid growing calls for proof of life, a journalist affiliated with cgtn, the international arm of chinese state tv, tweeted three photos that he said were posted by the tennis star to her private we chat account and they claim they were shared by the tennis star's friend rather than address the concerns about her safety and well-being. the tweet said that shuai only included the caption, happy weekend and a smiley emoji. the state media tweet said the photos were just posted. it is impossible to confirm when they were taken. the athlete has not been seen in public since accusing a former government official of sexual assault. also right now, the u.s. coast guard has named a second ship and its owners as a, quote, party of interest in the oil spill that released at least 25,000 gallons of crude oil into

7:34 am
life was threatened or he was not provoking the incident. that's how the verdict came through. is that enough for you? can you accept that? >> no, no, no, that kid turned and mowed that guy down with his rifle. he mowed him down, and people saw that, and they witnessed, that and they tried to stop him. >> what about how your son anthony was portrayed during the trial? >> that's ridiculous. it's ridiculous what they do and the levels that they stoop to. they should be ashamed of themselves. >> i just want to circle back to the first question. i know your response was very brief, but i just want to get a sense of -- clearly you're frustrated. you're angry. but how are you and your family doing this morning? how are you absorbing the weight
