we'll remember him. but we have a lot of news to get to this morning, including that surprising vote in kansas. the first state to vote on abortion since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. voters there triggered a strong backlash affirming the state's constitution which protects abortion rights. remember, kansas is a deep red state where there are far more republicans than democrats. >> the vote rejecting a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would have invalidated rights in kansas and rachel scott has been tracking this issue and was there overnight as the results came in. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: robin, good morning. this is a massive show of support for abortion rights in a conservative, traditionally red state. less than six weeks after roe versus wade was overturned by the supreme court, voters in this state of kansas sent a clear message that the right to an abortion should be protected. this was the moment the results came in. kansas voters overwhelmingly decided to protect access to abortion. >> it's a huge victory for kansas, for women, for reproductive rights and america. >> reporter: the first political

test in a post-roe america handing abortion rights groups a major victory. >> this sends a message that the women are coming out of the woodwork. we are not going anywhere, and we are going to protect ourselves. >> reporter: voters blocked an amendment that would have stripped protections from the state's constitution, clearing the way for lawmakers to enact tighter restrictions or outright ban. anti-abortion rights activists saying it's far from over. >> if the last 50 years haven't shown anything, we've been fighting. we're not going to stop fighting. >> reporter: the turnout soared. lines stretching around the block. voters on both sides energized after the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. >> we don't want to be known as an abortion state. we want to have limits and have the people have the right to say what they want in their own state. >> as somebody that's had an abortion, i think it's incredibly stigmatized and i think that we need to get rid of that stigma and it begins with keeping access to safe, legal and affordable abortion. >> reporter: at least 14 states

have stopped nearly all abortion services, but kansas will remain a safe haven for abortions at least for now. >> the overwhelming no vote just proves that people in states can stand up and say, no, you're not going to control my body. i hope it is an example for other states. >> reporter: this primary was closely watched around the nation. president biden released a statement after the results came in saying, this makes clear the majority of americans believe the right to an abortion should be protected, and in just a few hours the president is expected to sign an executive order to help support out-of-state patients who have to travel to get an abortion. george? >> rachel, that margin really was surprising. last big night of primaries before the midterms and there are also big clues about donald trump's power in the republican party. whit johnson is tracking the results. good morning, whit. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. one key race gaining national attention is the republican primary for governor in the state of arizona. it's still too close to call but kari lake, the former local news anchor endorsed by former

president trump came out on stage multiple times overnight declaring victory. at one point she brought out a sledgehammer saying it was intended for electronic voting machines. her opponent, karrin taylor robson insists it's not over and for secretary of state in arizona, trump's pick, mark finchem, he's expected to win. he's denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election. if he wins in november, he could have broad power over future elections in the state. meanwhile overnight in missouri an expected tight race turned into a blow-out. eric schmitt won the republican nomination for senate preventing a comeback from former governor eric greitens who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct and recently denied abuse claims made by his ex-wife and in michigan, republican congressman peter meijer who voted to impeach former president donald trump losing to a challenger backed by trump. meijer saying overnight, our country still needs leaders willing to put their love of country before partisan advantage. george? >> okay, whit, thanks very much.

now to a major new development in the january 6th investigation. abc news learned that a federal grand jury issued a subpoena to former trump white house council pat cipollone. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has the story. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. overnight more evidence that the justice department's investigation into the january 6th attack is expanding and increasingly focused on the actions of former president trump. multiple sources telling abc news that former white house counsel pat cipollone has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury, the highest ranking trump administration official we know of. cipollone was a star witness in the recent congressional hearings. he has insight into what was happening in the white house as the insurrection unfolded and the justice department is also likely very interested in cipollone's reaction to the plan to bring so-called fake electors who supported trump to washington to slow down and block biden from being certified as president. the justice department has subpoenaed a number of these

fake electors. they have seized the phone of john eastman, one of trump's private attorneys who is thought to be one of the architects of this strategy. the stakes in this criminal investigation are rising by the day. george? >> they certainly are. pierre thomas, thanks very much. michael? george, now to the escalating tensions between the u.s. and china with house speaker nancy pelosi meeting with taiwan's president overnight. china is accusing the u.s. of playing with fire. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce is tracking the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: michael, good morning. well, overnight a historic moment on a trip that has sparked a lot of controversy and fierce pushback from the chinese. the white house this morning says they anticipated this response, but is warning china not to escalate things further. this morning, the meeting china did not want to happen, house speaker nancy pelosi defying beijing's stern warnings warmly received by taiwan's president. >> my delegation came here to send an unequivocal message, america stands with taiwan. >> reporter: pelosi is the highest ranking official to

visit taiwan in 25 years, a self-governing democracy that china considers part of its territory. >> the world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy. america's determination to preserve democracy here in taiwan and around the world remains ironclad. >> reporter: but this morning beijing is furious, accusing the u.s. of playing with fire. the chinese government swift to react. announcing military exercises in the waters surrounding taiwan, including live ammunition drills and sending nearly two dozen warplanes into its air defense zone. [speaking foreign language] the spokesman for the chinese foreign ministry this morning saying, the u.s. and taiwan are not listening and, therefore, the chinese military and the chinese side can only communicate with the u.s. and the taiwan independence separatist forces in a language that they can understand. pelosi has long been a vocal critic of china's human rights

record. seen here in 1991 commemorating the pro-democracy protesters killed in tiananmen square and visits by republican and democratic lawmakers are common, but this visit is different. shrouded in secrecy, pelosi's office refusing to confirm the stop until she touched down in taipei. now, the chinese this morning are also summoning the u.s. ambassador to china to formally protest pelosi's visit. the white house though is defending her decision to make this trip saying it is in line with long-standing u.s. policy. robin? >> thank you, mary. white house national security spokesman john kirby is standing by for more on pelosi's visit. but first, the new warning to americans after the drone strike that killed the leader of al qaeda. as we learn new details about it this morning, our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has that. >> reporter: this morning, an urgent warning to americans around the world, the state department saying it is concerned about the threat of terrorist attacks carried out in retaliation for the death of ayman al zawahiri. the bulletin warning of a higher potential for anti-american

violence, saying u.s. citizens overseas could be at risk of assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings. this as new details emerge about the final moments for the world's most wanted terrorist, al zawahiri believed to have met his end in this apartment. satellite images showing the building in an upscale, crowded kabul neighborhood, and this photo circulating online showing the aftermath. the blown-out windows of that apartment where the white house says al zawahiri was killed while standing on the balcony struck down by u.s. hellfire missiles. those missiles likely flying ginsus, called that because they launch six blades to kill a human target while sparing those standing just feet away. experts praising the precision strike. >> no one else has this capacity to pinpoint a target like this, not only in terms of location but in terms of time based on the intelligence and then strike from afar. >> reporter: president biden

seen in this white house photo being briefed on july 1st. inside that box on the table, a model of the safe house. but now the administration facing new questions about whether pulling american troops from afghanistan last year created a safe haven for terrorists. now, this new alert for americans abroad says they should check with the state department for travel advisories and updates. officials are not saying whether a new threat prompted this new warning, but they do maintain, george, that america is safer because of this takedown. >> okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much. let's bring in the president's national security spokesman john kirby. john, thanks for joining us again this morning. that state department warning is pretty dire. how much greater risk are americans abroad facing right now? >> well, it's a prudent step for the state department to issue that. it's not uncommon for us to do that after a major strike like this, and the takedown of a major terrorist figure. it's the right thing to do just to make sure that when americans travel, they do so with their head on a swivel. there's no specific threat we're

tracking right now, no specific stream of information that leads us to believe there is a terrorist attack imminent as a result, retribution if you will, for the killing of zawahiri but it's the right thing to do. >> what more is the united states going to do to hold the taliban accountable for harboring al qaeda? >> the strike itself is a measure of accountability. not only we hold al qaeda accountable and mr. zawahiri, but it sent a very clear message to the taliban that we know what they were doing and that we were prepared to take action and we will be prepared to take action going forward. now, i'm not going to telegraph any decisions or policies or initiatives that might come as a result of this. believe me, we believe the taliban got the message and we're not going to tolerate them violating the doha agreement and, look, this is a group that wants to be considered legitimate governors. they want to open up to the international community. they want financing. they want legitimacy. you can't have all that if you're going to violate the doha agreement and harbor terrorists that plan to attack the american

homeland. >> let's talk about speaker pelosi's trip to taiwan. she's left now. we saw those comments from the chinese sayig the united states is playing with fire and the u.s. has to pull back from the brink. are the u.s. and china on the brink? >> no, i don't believe so. not at all. look, we knew that the chinese were going to react this way. we could see it in the rhetoric leading up to the visit and frankly have seen them do some exercises. we've seen them do some flying along the median line of the taiwan strait. all of this from the playbook and what we expected them to go and it's why we talked about it a few days ago. we would expect, george, in coming hours and maybe even days there will be additional chinese actions meant to flex their muscles. we're just going to have to see what happens and where this goes but there's no reason -- we don't believe we're at the brink now and certainly no reason for anybody to be talking about being at the brink going forward. nothing about the speaker's trip was inconsistent with american policy. not a thing. >> we are seeing those actions

already including those live fire military drills. how concerned are you about that? >> i'm sorry. i couldn't hear you. >> i was going to say, i was going to give you credit for being so coherent with that street cleaner behind you. that's really something. >> just got a little closer to me so i lost you on that last one. >> my question was about the chinese military drills. how concerned are you about them? >> we're watching them closely, george, but, again, they are a piece of what we expected them to do. we're watching it closely. we don't want to see any of this escalate. we do expect, george, that in the next days or so that there will be additional drills and so we'll watch them again and monitor as best we can. >> i got to say that sounds like an alert. i'll let you go right now. thanks very much. let's go over to vin scully right now. >> he stayed focused. >> he did. >> we're wondering what in the world -- i thought it was a street cleaner too. it was the big semi coming behind him. all right, george. this morning, we are remembering a hall of fame broadcaster, the voice of the

dodgers for 67 years, vin scully passed away at 94 years old. will reeve has more on the announcer who called, get this, 25 world series, 12 all-star games and countless memorable moments, right, will? >> an icon, a legend. robin, good morning. there's something about baseball. maybe it's the languid pace and the gaps in the action that lends itself to imagination and poetry. there is no and likely will never be a more revered bard of the game than vin scully, the voice of the dodgers and of baseball for generations. for nearly 70 years, first in brooklyn in the 1950s, then for decades in l.a., vin scully began his broadcasts like this -- >> it's time for dodger baseball. >> reporter: born in the bronx in 1927, scully started calling brooklyn dodgers' games when he was just 22. >> in a year that has been so

improbable, the impossible has happened. >> reporter: he spent a record 67 seasons with the only team he ever worked for, but scully was also the national pastime's national treasure. the voice of hank aaron passing babe ruth. >> what a marvelous moment for the country and the world. >> reporter: and the unforgettable 1986 world series. >> it gets through buckner. here comes knight and the mets win it. >> reporter: scully retired in 2016, saying good-bye with that signature and singular poetic grace. >> when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, rest assured, once again it will be time for dodger baseball. so this is vin scully wishing you a very pleasant good afternoon wherever you may be. >> before he retired scully was asked about the legacy he hoped to leave. i'd like truly to be remembered as a good guy, he said, a good husband, a good grandfather, a

good sportscaster, that will be disappearing as the sands blow over the booth. i want to be remembered as an honest man, a man who lived up to >> exactly how he will be remembered. >> yes. >> really special man. >> perfect. you said it so well, will. that was beautiful. i mean, you really honored him well. >> well, he deserves it. >> yes, he does. >> you captured his spirit. >> thank you, will. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the new sanctions against vladimir putin's reported girlfriend. and the company behind t.j. maxx, marshalls and homegoods ordered to pay millions for selling recalled goods, most of them putting infants in danger. but first, let's go to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: michael, we're in for a hot one here in dallas. they have had such an epic start to summer. looking at the heat advisories all the way up to west virginia and into the northeast we're talking about the potential for

good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. sanctions on russia have been piling up for months. the united states and its allies trying to find ways to force russia out of ukraine. but this latest round is getting personal. focusing on vladimir putin's alleged girlfriend. this morning, the u.s. is closing in on putin's inner circle now sanctioning his reported longtime girlfriend who is also believed to be the mother of some of his children. >> to putin it says essentially that now all bets are off. >> reporter: the u.s. freezing alina kabaeva's access to property saying the 39-year-old olympian has a close relationship to putin, something she's previously denied and is the current head of a pro-kremlin media empire. >> alina kabaeva is believed to be one of the people where he essentially stashed away his wealth, and so going for her essentially trickles down to the young children as well, any kind of assets that might be in their names, in her name. this is getting to the tentacles of putin's inner circle as far as his financial wealth goes.

>> reporter: a former arrhythmic ympic coeting 2004 e took a few mont l photographed with putin at a kremlin banquet in moscow. u.s. officials telling "the wall street journal" she gave birth to three of his children. >> she has been living in switzerland for quite some time now. we know she gave birth to at least the first child in switzerland. the twins, the second two children, were believed to have been given birth to in russia. but she has a lot of ties to switzerland and that may sort of be regulated because of these sanctions. >> reporter: putin repeatedly denied any relationship with her and has never publicly acknowledged the children. in april maria and katarina his daughters with his ex-wife were also hit with sanctions. the u.s. treasury alleges 37-year-old maria is the leader of state-funded genetics research programs while 35-year-old katerina is a tech executive. katarina is also known for

acrobatic rock 'n' roll competitions. in a rare interview about his family, putin discussed his daughters' careers in his 2017 docu-series with film director oliver stone. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: they are into science and education. >> you are a very lucky man. two good children. >> translator: i'm proud of them. >> reporter: why now? there may have been concern at the beginning of this war about piling too much pressure on the kremlin too soon. sanctions actually haven't made too much of an immediate difference to this war so far but they are a long-term strategy and with food and fuel prices rising globally, vladimir putin's gamble is that the west loses its nerve before he does. guys? >> all right, james, thank you. now to the miami dolphins paying the price for trying to court tom brady. their franchise and its owner hit with steep penalties for tampering with the superstar quarterback, and a super bowl-winning coach. victor oquendo is at the dolphins' stadium just outside miami. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning,

robin. the good news for the miami dolphins here is that this investigation did not find any evidence that the team purposefully lost or tanked games. the bad news, they were clearly in contact with tom brady and sean payton when they shouldn't have been and now they're paying a big price. >> touchdown, miami. >> reporter: this morning the nfl coming down on the miami dolphins and owner stephen ross in part for trying to lure the league's biggest star, tom brady, to miami. >> i'm so proud of our guys. >> reporter: an independent investigation finding ross violated the league's anti-tampering policy by communicating with brady when he was with the patriots and later with the buccaneers. as well as former new orleans saints' head coach sean payton. >> so you have some of the biggest names in the sport trying to be lured to miami while the dolphins have a quarterback and a head coach. >> reporter: the investigation stemming from a racial discrimination lawsuit from former miami head coach brian flores who also claimed that ross offered him $100,000 to

tank games in order to improve their draft position. in the end, the nfl finding no evidence the team intentionally lost games, nor did anyone instruct flores to do so. the nfl is now suspending stephen ross from attending games through mid-october and has ordered him to pay a $1.5 million fine. he says, i strongly disagree with the conclusions and the punishment. the dolphins will also have to forfeit a first round pick in the 2023 draft and a third round pick in 2024. flores responding in a statement, mr. ross will avoid any meaningful consequence. there is nothing more important when it comes to the game of football itself than the integrity of the game. and dolphins owner stephen ross isn't alone here. the team's vice chairman bruce beal has also been suspended and fined. according to the report he was the point person in contact with tom brady and those talks allegedly included possibly making brady a limited partner with the team and a player. guys? >> a lot there to unpack.

my energy was balanced and my masculine and feminine energy. i didn't feel necessarily like a woman. i didn't feel like a man. i just felt like a human. and that's what they/them is about for me. it's just about like feeling human at your core. >> reporter: glaad supporting lovato saying, everyone deserves the freedom and the latitude to question and explore their own gender identity. that exploration may include trying on different pronouns to see which ones feel most in alignment with one's gender. other music stars have been open about their gender identity. coming out as nonbinary and halsey listing she/they as acceptable pronouns. >> gender is a journey. we're all growing as people and learning more about ourselves, and gender is fluid. so what you feel at this point in time may be one thing, and the gender identity you're using now is very valid. >> reporter: lovato adding for

her gender expression is an ongoing learning process. >> nobody is perfect. everyone messes up pronouns at some point and especially when people are learning. it's all about respect. >> lovato says all of this exploration is part of her healing process and for those who might get confused and misgender her pronouns she says as long as you keep trying to respect my truth and as long as i remember my truth the shift will come naturally. robin? >> i appreciate her saying that because sometimes your intentions are good and you will -- you won't say it correctly so i'm glad she said it like that. >> absolutely. >> all right, juju, thank you. now to a parenting alert. an alarming new report on disordered eating among children finding both boys and girls as young as 9 are engaging in behaviors like dieting and binging and dr. jen ashton will join us with more. tell us about the study. >> just published in "jama." i think the important thing here is they're trying to get a read

on how often this is going on, who is affected and when it starts. as you said, it starts younger than we think. what the study found, 5% of children overall engaged in binge eating behaviors. overall 28 million americans are affected by some type of eating disorder so this is incredibly common and most importantly, with respect to this study and its importance most eating disorders actually begin in adolescence. so when they found 9, 10-year-olds starting to engage in binge eating, you know, that shifts our timeline to try to be more aware earlier and try to intervene. >> and still emphasizing girls and boys because sometimes you only talk about the girls. >> for sure. this is not just a problem for girls. >> what are the warning signs? >> i think this is really important because at this age and in older adolescents parents could be the first ones to pick up on this. so the signs and symptoms, things that parents can notice, a sudden change in their child's appetite, sudden avoiding meal times, especially when people used to have family meals

together, frequent calorie counting or an over-exercising, overall poor body image, constantly talking about weight, weight gain, losing weight. >> if a parent feels their child has an unhealthy relationship with food, what should they do? >> fill the boat. get some professional help and talk to your child's pediatrician and at the same time try to respect your child's privacy because this is a difficult time for them and also anticipate some degree of rebellion as parents. we expect that across the board but particularly if you're dealing with a child that has an eating disorder. >> see you on "gma3." >> thank you, my dear. >> michael? now it's time to turn to our inflation nation series. as parents start making back to school purchases, of course, our becky worley is here to teach a lesson on buying refurbished tech for teens. you brought some "a" plus students. >> i don't know about that but these are my kids who finn and emmy who practically

grew up on "gma." you guys, how many segments do you think you've been on? >> probably 40. >> 40? >> he probably filmed ten during covid for me so these are "gma" kids and then these are their actual classmates and friends from school so pretty cool. we're here to learn about refurbished tech. >> refurbished tech. i think you've worked here more than me. explain for people out there what is refurbished tech. >> used or secondhand. could be a trade-in or maybe a minor defect the retailer or manufacturer was able to fix. so it's been back for checking to make sure it's okay. an example would be emmy has an iphone 11 that is refurbished purchased directly from apple. its retail price would be $549 but we got it for $80 off. new battery, new outer shell and warranty you can get apple care with it too. a discount of $80. finn's discount was $200 on a samsung phone.

normally $499, we got it for $299. these are good deals. one other example. jake here, tell these guys how old you are? >> i am 10. >> going into what grade? >> fifth. >> so jake's parents are not ready for him to have a smartphone. so instead they're getting him a smartwatch. it has the cell service and what have you. now that can be anywhere from $80 to $190 discounted from apple. that's where they're purchasing it. >> kids can be rough on stuff, in and out of bags. what products should you stay away from? >> yeah, th products you should stay away and what you should focus on. so which are the goods and which are the bads? the good ones that we really like besides phones and watches are chromebooks. so chromebooks are something that kids live on right now at school and we purchased this one from a company called back market. it's a really well-known company and where you buy from is so important because they need to have warranties. they need to have return policies and you need to know what those are. this one was $429.

we got it for $365 and i'm going to tell you something, alana here is one of those kids who is a torture tester. she's been through four phones. >> four? >> four phones, so we need to know about that warranty and that protection. >> you're very expensive to raise. what should we avoid? >> okay, what should we avoid? so, a couple things to avoid, we've got ava and ani and what they have are hard drives and printers because nobody returns those for cosmetic reasons. if there's a defect, you don't want to be stuck with something like that. so that's a be cautious there in terms of those products. >> becky, great advice. saving people money. getting everybody ready to go back to school on this -- this is the 41st time on the show. now we'll throw it upstairs to you guys for some "pop news" with lara. hey, lara. >> hey, michael, thank you so much. wish you were here but we'll get right to it because lot to talk

way they got there just -- we had no idea and i just tried to drill down on it with as much detail and honesty as i could, both in the caves but also again outside in that base camp. >> the whole world did come around. that's a big part of the story. >> to me that's why there was real urgency in telling it because what the real heroes did, many of them, hundreds of them is that they gave us an object lesson in really the sort of viability and plausibility of hope because they set aside so much. look, it was a little messy. there were a lot of individuals -- personalities involved and politics and so forth. they put all that aside and did something remarkable. well, if the thai government and all those volunteers could achieve that for these boys, what else could be accomplished? i felt like that was the great story i wanted to bring. >> something we could all use. cannot wait to see it. thanks for coming. >> thank you. >> "thir
