[ cheers and applause ] [ crowd chanting six more

years ] >> reporter: overnight democrats clinching a major victory. senator raphael warnock defeating his republican challenger herschel walker. >> the people have spoken.

[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: so this now caps off a string of losses for republicans during the midterm cycle. herschel walker now joining a long list of candidates that were backed by former president donald trump that lost this election. as for democrats, they say this now proves that georgia, a state that was once considered reliably red is now in play. warnock had one of the largest margins of victory for a democrat in decades. robin? >> all right, our thanks to you, rachel. we'll bring in our senior white house correspondent mary bruce on what the result of the georgia runoff could mean for president biden. good morning, mary. robin.orter: good morning, - yeah, look, this one is a big deal. biden calling warnock to congratulate him tweeting tonight georgia voters stood up

for our democracy, rejected ultra magaism and most importantly sent a good man back to the senate. here's to six more years. look, with this win democrats have an outright majority in the senate. it means they won't have to rely as much on the vice president to break any tie votes and it gives democrats a majority in committee. that is a very important thing for affirming federal judges, appointing nominees which is a big priority for this president, and it also means the wild card members of the democratic caucus are less powerful. more conservative members like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema who have been able to stymie the president's agenda or more liberal members like bernie sanders, they won't be able to block items like they have in the past. reality check here, republicans still control the house and that means much of biden's agenda will be stalled. george? >> mary bruce, thanks. the latest on donald trump. a new york jury convicted the trump organization on 17 counts of tax fraud and other financial crimes as several other investigations are mounting

pressure on the former president. chief washington correspondent jon karl has the details. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. the guilty verdicts are a major blow to the former president as the trump family company faces not just a stiff fine, but also questions about how they will do business going forward now that it has been convicted of fraud. for donald trump, the trump organization is more than just a business. it's central to his identity, real estate, and in politics. a manhattan jury deliberated for roughly ten hours before finding the company guilty on all 17 counts. guilty of falsifying business records and much more as part of a scheme to avoid paying taxes. >> this was a case about lying and cheating, false documents to the end of evading taxes for the benefit of individuals and the corporations. >> reporter: the prosecution's star witnesses were some of trump's longest serving and most

loyal aides. chief among them the company's longtime cfo allen weisselberg who pleaded guilty in august to keeping much of his compensation off the books. the company paying for his apartment, his mercedes-benz, even his grandchildren's tuition, paying income taxes on none of it. weisselberg never implicated trump directly and the former president has not been charged. but the prosecutors repeatedly invoked trump's name saying he explicitly committed tax fraud, showing the jury documents he signed like this check for weisselberg's grandchildren's tuition. trump's lawyers said the real culprit was weisselberg and wasted no time saying they would appeal. >> we'll certainly be appealing, of course. >> reporter: the guilty verdicts carry a maximum penalty of $1.7 million. but potentially more damaging is the impact being guilty of multiple felonies will have on the company's ability to do business going forward. in a written statement, donald

trump said that he was disappointed by the jury's verdict and insisted that neither he nor members of his family did anything wrong. george, this is just the beginning of donald trump's legal troubles. >> that is true. okay, jon, thanks very much. let's bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. did not seem to be a close call. what does it mean for trump and the company? >> you got this fine which is not particularly significant, $1.6 million. that's the maximum, by the way, $10,000 per count. the greater danger is what happens with banks, for example. will they continue to loan money? will they continue to do business with the trump organization? that's the area where it could fundamentally impact their ability to do business because, you know, with banks, they're sometimes not a lot of discretion. they may have rules saying this is what we're allowed to do or not allowed to do with a business convicted of a crime. and the rule may be, we can't do business with them. so, as a practical matter, it

may have an impact. >> another possible danger, the manhattan d.a. brought in a senior justice department official to look again at this whole stormy daniels case. >> i kind of thought this investigation was dead, right? you had these two d.a.s from the manhattan d.a.'s office who resigned because the new d.a. wouldn't bring charges against donald trump in connection with some of the same stuff that's out there and then suddenly in the last couple of weeks, we hear about this new hire from the d.a.'s office. maybe things are bubbling up. not necessarily the same issue as what was dealt with here, but it does seem that once again the manhattan d.a. is considering possible criminal charges. >> now it appears the january 6th committee is going to make criminal referrals to the justice depa ion know how much that really matters, right? typically when it comes to criminal referrals from congress what really matters is when it's a crime against congress, right? you fail to show up. you fail to abide by a subpoena. you lie to congress. that's the sort of thing where a referral from congress will really have an impact on the

department of justice. for congress to say we think donald trump should be charged with a crime in connection with january 6th more broadly, i don't think it's going to have almost any impact. >> the special prosecutor already hard at work anyway. >> yeah. >> all right, dan abrams, thanks very much. michael? we'll turn to breaking news overnight overseas about a possible armed coup to overthrow the government in germany. thousands of police officers carried out raids across the country. tom soufi burridge is tracking the very latest for us. good morning, tom. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. german authorities are saying they've broken up an elaborate network of far right terrorists which included a minor german aristocrat in an alleged plot to seize power. the details might remind us of the storming of the capitol in january. the group, according to prosecutors, were allhe groasy a

is alleged coup involved former member of the german military and one of them arrested a minor german aye krat. like in the u.s. far right extremism has become more of a threat in europe and this alleged plot is a worrying threat against democracy in this part of the world. robin? >> it certainly is frightening, tom soufi burridge, thank you so much for your reporting. now to the winter weather alert. an avalanche warning is in effect in the mountain and ski resorts of colorado with snow falling and even more on the way. mola lenghi is in snowmass, colorado for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. as you can see, plenty of snow already on the ground here, snowfall has been on again off again this morning as you can see, light but steady all morning long. this is one of multiple systems that have passed through the region here dumping snow all over the place.

this weekend the snow blanketing mountains and we're expecting up to a foot more in the northern rockies over the next 24 hours. avalanche warnings also in effect. ski resorts like this one are taking precautions. they're doing mitigation work, avalanche mitigation work. you see the snow caps out here, it's one step of many to get the slopes ready for the skiers and snowboarders and the holiday rush. we've already seen more snow this year through the season than average with more snow expected and on the way. robin? >> thank you, mola. michael? we turn to ginger who is outside of our studio with more on the trouble spots around the country. good morning, ginger. >> we're in an active pattern. good morning to you, michael. you know, it's a bigger deal beyond the skiers and snowboarders to have 200% of normal in the southern sierra. that is partly where we get

water. a big part is in colorado down into arizona where the water trickles so you have to wait to celebrate, though, until we get this type of precipitation all winter because last year it looked very similar then it dried right out. not dry for the next couple of weeks. the pattern is like this, the subtropical jet goes over the middle of the nation and will bring storm after storm, george, with lots of rain, but snow on the northern end which they've already seen in fargo. with that same system, i-94 and i-24 had a bunch of spinouts you'll get snow through iowa and minnesota in the next couple of days. george? >> ginger, thanks. now to the attk electrica north carolina this weekend. over 30,000 customers are still without power. police looking into a death that could be related. mona kosar abdi is on the scene with the details. good morning, mona. >> reporter: george, good investigation is moving at a fast pace but the stakes could be higher if that death is related to the power grid attack. if so, the moore county sheriff says whoever is responsible could be charged with murder. meanwhile, residents here have spent a fourth night in the

dark. duke energy crews have been working in 24-hour shifts to restore power and say by midnight tonight they expect to get the job done. but, guys, this blackout has taken a huge toll on this community. their lives have been disrupted. schools and businesses have been closed. i spoke with an army veteran and he says it was the kindness of strangers who helped him get through. michael? >> that's good to hear. mona, thank you for that. now to sentencing day for the former business partner and ex-boyfriend of elizabeth holmes. sunny balwani was convicted for his role in the theranos fraud, and rebecca jarvis who has been covering it all from the beginning is going to join us with more. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. three weeks ago, as you say, elizabeth holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years behind bars for her role in this fraud and today sunny balwani, her former boyfriend. and c.o.o. will face his fate. the government is now pushing

for him to spend 15 years behind bars calling him an equal participant in theranos' efforts to quash the truth. the company, as it was discovered in court, could not actually run hundreds of tests on just a few drops of blood as they had promised investors, as well as patients. and part of the reason sunny balwani could face more time behind bars than elizabeth holmes is because he was convicted on 12 counts, including those involving patients. she was convicted on four. she is set to surrender to prison in april of next year, but her team is going through an appeals process and, guys, is pushing for her to spend that time outside of prison. guys? >> all right, rebecca, our thanks to you. as michael said you've been on this from the very beginning. now we have an on-air scare when atlanta hawks announcer bob rathbun suffered a medical emergency live during a broadcast monday night. he was treated. thankfully he is recovering this morning but this is a warning that the video is difficult to watch. trevor ault is here with that

story for us. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning. atlanta hawks fans love bob rathbun. he's been calling their games since 1996. he respected all over the league and the video of this incident is very scary. we are only comfortable showing it to you because we know he should be okay. >> he feels like he belongs. >> reporter: a terrifying moment on air. >> really good first half of the season. >> reporter: atlanta hawks announcer bob rathbun suffering a medical emergency during pregame coverage of monday's hawks/thunder match-up. >> for a 19-year-old kid, wow. >> reporter: the 68-year-old live courtside with broadcast partner dominique wilkins first appearing disoriented, falling back into his chair then losing consciousness and starting to convulse. >> first half of the season. >> reporter: the camera cutting away as wilkins says bob's having a problem. >> bob's having a problem. >> reporter: medical professionals already at the game then rushing to rathbun's side saying they treated him for dehydration and took him to an

atlanta hospital. bally sports southeast saying in a statement, rathbun briefly lost consciousness on the court and spent a night in the hospital where his test results were very favorable, adding that bob is in great spirits. several of rathbun's co-workers say they have heard from him and he's all right, just a bit exhausted. we learn he will have a few more tests done at the hospital this morning and then should be cleared to head home. guys? >> good news. he is beloved. >> boy, that was hard to watch. coming up, our interview with the couple whose cruise ship was hit by a rogue wave coming after a zodiac boat they were on exploded. and we're learning about kirstie alley's short private battle with colon cancer. first, back to ginger. >> 58 degrees out here with rounds of rain to come from tennessee to the northeast. we'll track it more later. your local weather in 30 seconds.

and we were only anticipating nothing but smooth going forward. >> reporter: tom and pam trusdale were on a bucket list trip to antarctica las when their trip of a lifetime turned into a deadly disaster. not only was their boat, the viking "polaris," slammed by a killer rogue wave abc news now confirming one day before a fellow passenger was seriously injured during a zodiac boat excursion. the trudales were on the boat too. >> the passenger across from me said, oh, look, there's penguins jumping out of the water, and that's when the explosion occurred. >> reporter: pam recording the tense moments on her phone as she and fellow passengers were thrown into the air. >> it was a real loud -- it was a boom. i flew up in the air and the passenger across from me flew up in the air. she came down and hit hard. >> i hit my leg. >> i saw the woman go probably about three feet in the air and then the gentleman straight

across from me go up in the air and then roll over into the sea. so i went across and leaned over the pontoon and i just grabbed on to the life jacket. he was face up, so he was stabilized and i reassured him that, hey, you're safe. >> reporter: tom and another passenger were able to quickly pull the man back onto the zodiac boat. the woman's leg severely injured. >> she said, i hurt my leg. she said, i can't feel my leg and then i could hear her kind of straining that i could tell that she was in a lot of pain. >> reporter: the passenger's leg requiring surgery leading the ship's captain to turn back to argentina immediately through the treacherous drake passage known as one of the most turbulent stretches of ocean in the world. the water is rough. around 10:30 p.m. the next night a rogue wave crashed into the "polaris" killing one passenger, sheri zhu, and injuring four others.

>> this wave hit it and came over and broke through windows and just washed into these rooms. not only did it wash into the rooms, it broke walls down and some walls went into the next room. >> you could see there were windows out on about, i don't know, somewhere around six of the rooms, six or eight. >> six or eight in varying degrees. >> reporter: viking saying in a statement it is investigating the rogue wave incident and committed to the safety and security of all guests and crew. and pam went on to describe the incident on the zodiac boat as an explosion. she told us the floor buckled, almost like squeezing an aluminum can. now we should tell you this is incredibly rare but workers in the industry, they're concerned because these kind of trips are becoming more and more popular, guys. >> gio, thanks very much. we have new details on the passing of kirstie alley. this morning we're learning more about her brief battle with colon cancer, the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in the u.s.

the emmy-winning actress was also candid about her health concerns over the years including her struggle with weight, cigarettes and drugs. let's bring in dr. jen ashton. colon cancer hits people most often in kirstie's age group? >> yeah. i mean, this is something that even though we're seeing rates of colon cancer go up in people under 45 who aren't routinely screened, this is a type of cancer that goes up with age, slightly more common in men versus women. but the key thing, george, is that in early stages of colon cancer, there can be no symptoms or someone could be asymptomatic. when you get to more advanced stages, there can be signs and symptoms like abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss is a big one, blood in stool or anemia. that's detected are the signs typically when you're talking about metastatic or later stages. >> hard to find. what are the risk factors? >> so for the average risk person, again, this is something that can go up with age but

there is a long list of risk factors, family history like with any cancer is top of the list. certain genetic mutations, something called lynch syndrome is a big one, obesity, people who are inactive or don't get a lot of exercise or behavioral things like diet that's low in fiber, fruit and vegetables. smoking and alcohol to excess. all of those things are on the list of risk factors but it's generally not one thing, george. >> screenings do make a difference. what are the guidelines? >> so for the average risk person to start at 45 and that's a number that's gone down recently. it used to be 50. but anyone who has family history or a genetic mutation should obviously get screened or anyone with any of those signs or symptoms. >> i don't have to tell you, many people put off the colonoscopy because of the prep. anything to ease that? >> i'm so glad you brought that up, robin, because that prep is something that -- the first thing i tell my patients is, you

have anesthesia. you are asleep. you will feel no discomfort, no embarrassment. but the key thing about the prep, every gastroenterologist will go through their list of what to do the day before. i say start two days before with clear liquid diet. that means anything that you can read print through. so ginger ale, clear chicken broth, jell-o, coconut water, that will make the day before much easier and make the job of the gastroenterologist easier because they'll be able to get a better visualization. >> you can see through alcohol but don't drink that. >> don't drink that. thank you for clarifying. >> making it clear. >> always making it clear. >> screening is key. >> all right. thank you so much. coming up next, the new lawsuit against apple claiming airtags in the hands of stalkers put lives in danger. come on back.

the tech company's airtag tracking device makes it easier for stalkers. >> it was just truly terrifying. >> reporter: lauren hughes and another woman who is suing as jane doe claim that their former partners used airtags hidden in their cars to track their whereabouts without their knowledge. hughes says she believes her ex used these in order to track, harass and threaten her. >> i made a decision to move to a new place. during that process i was actually loading things into my vehicle at the time when i got the notification that an airtag was moving with me. >> reporter: the lawsuit alleges apple's device circumvents security features without taking reasonable steps to ensure that the monitoring products and services will be used only for legitimate and lawful purposes. >> there's some evidence out there that apple has had issues with the product and has made some efforts to improve its safety protocols, but that

according to these women and this lawsuit, those efforts were not sufficient. >> reporter: hughes and the jane doe are not the only ones who say devices like this have been used against them. a california woman says after a shopping trip, she and a friend were alerted to a tag following them. >> there was a map that showed it followed our exact location from target all the way back to her house. >> reporter: earlier this year, "sports illustrated" swimsuit model brooks nader made headlines when she said she was tracked through new york city, suspecting the tag was placed in her coat when she wasn't looking. >> i was already on my walk home. hafway home, i got the notification, someone is tracking you and has been for awhile. it was the scariest moment ever. >> reporter: now, the two plaintiffs here are seeking a jury trial. apple declining to comment on the ongoing litigation. but they had made changes earlier this year to the product and they say that these airtags are not meant to locate or track people. they are meant to locate your

belongings, things like missing keys. something you can do if you think you might be tracked by someone with these airtags, if you have an iphone, it could show up as an alert on your phone or there is an app in the app store called tracker detect. it was created by apple. it works on androids and other phones as well and if you are being tracked by someone else's airtags, it should alert you to that fact. guys? >> all right, rebecca. thank you so much. coming up next, our "play of the day" is gold to say the least. announcer: type 2 diabetes? discover the power of 3 in the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it.

put me down a lot of times so i feel like for reginald he sort of represents us all in that we all have up securities that we don't need to let us hold us back so, yeah, i think a lot of those sort of things -- >> you don't fit the mold in your vampire world. >> yeah. >> of what, you know, i was reading some of the research and, you know, the really beautiful vampires. >> sort of metaphors to society for sure. >> what's the best part of playing this character? >> oh, gosh, i think the best part is honestly just trying to be human while being a vampire. you know, it's really ironic he learns a lot about life through death, so, yeah, it's a really crazy human journey. >> your character comes into his own as a man, unfortunately, he's now -- >> a dead man. >> and it's all fun and games but there are some bad vampires. >> absolutely. >> who want to make you even more dead. >> yes, because i don't really fit the mold, the bosses of the vampire society don't really deem me as like acceptable so here we are at the assessment.

>> back to "spider-man," it's been a minute, five years since you did the first one. what was that experience like working with tom holland who i know is your friend? >> it was amazing. i think we were all very young when we started out, you know, and to really look back and to see where we're at now, truly an amazing journey. i think that i did not expect my life to go this way. i was just really lucky to have a job so, you know, now that i'm here on "good morning america" by myself, it's interesting. it's definitely a crazy, crazy experience. >> you've earned it. the show is great. really nice to meet you. >> i appreciate it. >> continued success. everybody, please do check out the season finale of "reginald the vampire." it's zany. it's airing tonight on sci-fi. we'll be right back. tonight on. we'll be right back. sometimes a cough isn't just a cough so it's better to be prepared. binaxnow gives you reliable results in 15 minutes. and detects multiple variants, including omicron ba.5
