7:04 am
pilot, but to no avail. the pilot appearing to be passed out. the plane likely out of fuel, taking a dive and crashing ten minutes after the fighter jets intercepted it. some aviation experts speculating hypoxia, the lack of oxygen, may have incapacitated the pilot and passengers. >> an aircraft crashed with a total of four passengers. >> reporter: according to the faa, the cessna jet with those four on board took off from an airport in northeast tennessee bound for mcarthur airport on new york's long island. the flight path showing the plane reaching long island, but instead of landing, turning around likely on auto pilot, heading south before crashing in virginia. the new york times spoke with the man who runs the company that owns the civilian jet. john rumble.
7:05 am
he said tragically that in addition to the pilot, his daughter, his 2-year-old grand daughter and her nanny were aboard the plane. george? >> okay, martha, thanks. let's bring in our aviation expert. start out by telling what the standard is for scrambling these fighter jets. >> the actual standards are classified but there is a good bit of judgment involved. remember the north american air defense command out in colorado springs has responsibility for all the u.s. and canada. so they are monitoring all of these flights. it's not unusual to lose communication with various flights around the perimeter of the u.s. and canada. so they have to think about, what is the intent? in this case the aircraft was at 34,000 feet. it stayed at 34,000 feet and it stayed on a constant heading. it didn't seem like it was a big threat. they did put the capitol and white house on alert. but they didn't shoot it down, precisely because they saw that it was not going to be a threat to the capitol. >> it appears everybody on board may have been on board because of this hypoxia. what causes it?
7:06 am
>> it's frankly just a lack of oxygen, george. you know when you take off in an airplane, you hear your ears pop. it compresses the air in the cabin to make sure there's enough oxygen so you can survive and go about your business normally on an airplane. sometimes that pressurization may fail. it can fail slowly, like it could fail to pressurize on the climb or it can be catastrophic. it does seem that in this case that hypoxia, probably caused by a loss of pressurization in this 33-year-old airplane. >> there was no way to make the landing. for the fighter pilots to help land that plane safely? >> no. any time the f-16's are responsible for air defense, they'll take a look. sometimes it's just a matter of losing radio communication. once everybody is incapacitated, there's really nothing that can be done. >> thank you very much. now to the rising tensions between the u.s. and china. the latest provocation, a near collision between american and chinese war ships.

vessel said they called the american ship telling them to move or there would be a collision. the americans asking the chinese to stay clear of the ship, but having to suddenly slow down in order to avoid a crash. the u.s. responding accusing the chinese ship of acting in an unsafe manner and violating the maritime rules of the road. china's defense minister firing back saying the best way to avoid another close call is for all country, especially their military aircraft and war ships to refrain from wandering around other country's territoryial waters and air space. this incident, the latest to raise tensions. just last week a chinese fighter jet coming within 400 feet of a u.s. reconnaissance plane over the south china sea. and earlier this year the u.s. shooting down a chinese spy balloon flying over the u.s. but national security adviser jake sullivan on cnn emphasizing the need for diplomacy between the two nations.

networks in the world although much needs improvement. their prime minister said if there are individuals responsible, they will be held to account. his government has come into criticism for focusing so much on showy projects like bullet trains rather than upgrading the existing system. >> that's right wrenching for the families of those victims. thanks to you. now to the dispute threatening traffic on the west coast. operators are accusing dock workers of shutting down ports from southern california to seattle. matt gutman has more. good morning, matt. >> reporter: 40% of the all the cargo coming into the u.s. goes into west coast ports. the port of los angeles handled 10 million containers in 2022. negotiations between long shore workers union and shipping operators have langished over the past year and since the weekend, the shipping operators have seen labor disruptions they say have shut down or are severely impacting some of the terminals at the major ports.

will jump on the bandwagon. and start to use these glp-1's. >> reporter: back in march, weight watchers acquiring a telehealth subscription service allowing customers to pay $99 per month for access to doctors who can prescribe medications like ozempic. >> what i have seen with patients on these medications is that it drastically changes their relationship with food. so this idea that this is an easy fix is completely not true. there's tons of side effects that go on with this medication. people are actually sacrificing quite a bit to have thinness and live in a smaller body. >> reporter: as the landscape continues to change in this industry, many of these longstanding companies have been forced to either pivot their business models or face closure. just last month, jenny craig closing its doors after 40 years in business. those meal plans and those in person coaching sessions. guys? >> erielle, thanks. our chief medical correspondent
7:43 am
dr. jen ashton is here. you are board certified in obesity medicine. what are the benefits of these medications? >> this is not for the person who needs or wants to lose five or ten pounds. these are people diagnosed with obesity who have other co-more bid conditions that are associated with their weight. in the field of obesity medicine, the use of fda approved weight loss medications, along with attention to what we're eating and exercise is the gold standard. that's because these conditions overweight and obesity, have genetic causes, metabolic. it's not as simple as eating less, moving more. >> how about the risk associated. >> as you know, you always have to figure out pros, cons, risks, benefits. some of these drugs come with a black box warning for people with thyroid issue. obviously the cost is not always covered with insurance. it is expensive. most importantly, this is not like treating someone with strep throat with antibiotic.
7:44 am
when or if someone discontinues these medications, the likelihood of weight regain is very significant, if not likely. of course, there can be mild gi side effects. that doesn't mean they don't have a role. it just means they require medical supervision, ideally with a physician who is board certified in obesity medicine. >> as you have pointed out for awhile, these are a life long thing or an extended period of your life. >> they are not short term in most cases. the conditions of overweight and obesity are life long chronic conditions. so this is not something that is one size fits all, pardon the pun. it has to be individualized. it has to be followed up with a physician. this is not like candy. this is prescription medication. >> dr. jen, as always, thank you very much. all right. coming up we kick off our series secrets of secondhand shopping with lori bergamotto. getting decked out in designer clothes for less. she looks great. coming up our play of the day.

danger. trevor ault has the story. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: when you enter a national park, you are usually going to see signage that ask that people respect nature and wild life. but yellowstone officials say lately there have been so many egregious accidents that they were forced to put out a statement. urging visitors not to put themselves or the animals in danger. after a string of frightening close encounters at yellowstone national park, this morning park officials are urging tourists to respect and protect the animals saying in a statement, some actions by visitors have led to the endangerment of people and wild life and resulted in the death of wild life. >> because of things like social media, lot of people have lost a bit of commonsense and don't give space and respect these creatures need. they put themselves and the animal in serious danger. >> reporter: authorities are now investigating tourists who they say this memorial day weekend grabbed a baby elk and took it

8:15 am
remember that in public health, science and clinical medicine and the cdc, we do track multiple infectious diseases all the time. so i think that infectious disease experts are looking at the possibility for certain things going up like hmpv, that respiratory virus and other things will trend down in the summer, like covid. it's not all bad or good. it just is. >> what do we know about this summer's forecast? >> i don't have my crystal ball here. anyone who -- >> will i get sick this summer? >> hold on, let me check the crystal ball. anyone who says they know just doesn't. we have to be vigilant. we do expect certain things, different pathogens, not the same we see in winter months, tend to tick up in the summer. others kind of go down. >> another crystal ball question for you, jen. which viruses do you expect? >> this we know. there is data on this.
8:16 am
if you look at kind of the big categories, the nonpolio viruses like the common cold, insect born tie viruses, lyme, lyme disease. mosquito born illnesses. then other viruss that are not covid or influenza, we see them in the summer as well. travel related illness. if you're traveling within the country or to other country, you can get sick, unfortunately. >> you bring up the tick borne illnesses. all of the other issues. lindsay and i are both parent, as are you, dr. jen. what should we be doing ahead of big get togethers? >> commonsense prevails. right? just because we're out of the pandemic doesn't mean these things should go on the shelf as well. hand hygiene really important. avoiding touching your nose and face and mouths is really important. if you are concerned, wear a mask. if you are in a high risk situation or high risk population, stay home if you're sick. wearing protective clothing

8:31 am
jake's story so special. not only are the now teens surviving, they are both college students who are thriving. it's a reunion 19 years in the making. 19-yr-old twins aaron and jade buckles returning to children's national hospital for a special reunion with the doctors and nurses who gave them separate lives. they were joined at the chest. charlie gibson was there for their separation 19 years ago. >> you are so pretty. so pretty. >> reporter: it was a risky surgery with so many worrisome hours for their parents. >> what i am dreading is leaving them in the or. it was very hard. we didn't know after they were born if they would be able to survive. >> reporter: only about 1 in 50,000 conceptions are conjoined twins. only 1 in 200,000 survive to birth. the girls shared a diaphragm.
8:32 am
doctors weren't sure if they would be able to breathe on their own. >> the hearts were beating together. so that was an unknown. were the hearts joined or were they separate? >> reporter: an elite team of two dozen specialists separating them in half the time they expected. >> it was a hugely emotional day. to see them years later just by itself is very big for me. >> if it wasn't for the people here, we wouldn't be here at all. so i think about that a lot. i have thought about what life would be like how we were conjoined, facing each other. i don't know how it would have been possible to live a life like that. >> reporter: today the girls are doing great. they are excellent students and college athletes. jade runs track and plays field hockey. erin, who uses a wheelchair as a result of a spinal stroke at the time of the surgery plays
8:33 am
division i basketball on an all wheelchair team and just won the national championship. >> excited for the girls to see the team that helped start a new life for them by separating them and giving them their own individual bodies to go out and, you know, conquer life. they've overcome so much, but they are just starting their lives right now. we are excited to see what that next chapter holds for both of them. >> and the girls say that now that they are in college, no one knows they are a twin, let alone a formerly conjoined one. it's just not something that normally comes up in conversation except, of course, now it probably will, lara. >> eva, thank you very much indeed. we're gonna turn now to our next guest joining us. he is a grammy, oscar and tony award winning singer and composer who has also been a leading force for decades in the
8:34 am
fight to end aids. live from los angeles, it is sir elton john. good morning to you sir elton. >> good morning. actually, i'm live from england. it's lovely to see you. that story before i came on was just the most touching story. just wonderful to hear positive things like that. wow. >> thank you. thank you for listening. much better hour for you to be up and with us. i'm glad you are in england and not los angeles as you join us to talk about something so very near and dear to your heart. i cannot believe it's been 31 years since you launched the elton john aids foundation and the work that you've done has just been remarkable. today, june 5th, you start the rocket fund. tell us about this turbo charging moment for you. >> well, it's my foundation's $125 million initiative for people living with hiv and aids around the world.
8:35 am
we've come an awful long way, 31 years but i recently went to south africa, had a great visit with some congress people and stphaeult senator. it was a wonderful trip. but there's more to do to end this virus for everyone who is suffering from it, especially young people. groups like lgbtq +. we still have work to do. we really want to end the aids situation by 2030. we think it is possible. we think it's doable. so we just want to get a move on. >> to that end, you're asking everybody to let their inner elton out, which i'm doing right now. i have got these on in honor of you. [ laughter ] i worship you. i do as you say. we all love you. our whole crew is letting their inner elton out. take a look at our stage managers. >> wow! >> everybody really enjoying it. eddie, we need a shot of you.
8:36 am
you can't imagine the man that's been counting down george in his outfit. tell us why you want us to let our inner elton out? >> we want people to go on to social media and let that inner elton out however they want to do it. it's just to show people that it still matters. it's still out there. we can all help not only by donating money, by treating people, helping people, volunteering. the message is, come on, let your inner elton out. let's raise some money. let's get this done. we've had an awful lot of great news over the last few years but we still have some work to do. i'm gonna challenge some of my friends to let their inner out, inner elton out. i'm challenging david burtka, neil patrick harris. to see what they can come up with. you already started it off with the best way possible. thank you. >> of course.
8:37 am
i know your friends will all be there for you. this is such an important moment for you. you are looking for $125 million in this initiative. so turbo charged indeed. on another note, robin roberts was with you this past fall in los angeles when you said good-bye in your final performance there. now it's getting real, sir elton. i know coming up in sweden, it's the final final, correct? >> july 8th is the final show on the good-bye yellow brick farewell. i think i have another 68 shows to do. we're working our way through. it's going so well. the audience has been so kind, so loving. i'm just having the best time possible. i'm having the best farewell ever. i'm very lucky. >> do you feel nostalgic? is it starting to sink in that
8:38 am
this really is -- it's been a long farewell tour. 16 performances to go. are you starting to feel a little sad? >> not yet. i just take it performance by performance. it's been a five year tour because of two years of covid. there would have been 329 shows when it's done with. i have enjoyed every single minute. i don't look forward to things. i just approach them one show at a time. you'll have to ask me again after sweden. obviously, there's going to be some emotions. i have been with my band a long time. i have been with my crew a long time. it's going to be emotional. i'm not thinking about it. i'm concentrating on doing the next best show. >> we'd love to talk to you again. i hope just because this tour is over, that doesn't mean that you are done performing live. >> no. i said i'm not touring. there will be the odd show here and there if i feel like it. when i finish on july 8th, i'm just going to rest from touring
8:39 am
and playing live for awhile. 329 shows is a lot in a tour. if you start january 1st and finish november 25th and play every day, that's how long the tour is. >> you deserve the rest. your sons will be happy to see dad a bit more, too. >> i'm going to be happy to see them. they will be there at the final show. it's going to be a tremendous occasion. who knows what it's going to feel like? i can't predict that. if you want me to come back and tell you, i will. >> deal. you have a date. sir elton john, we adore your music. we adore the work that you do. thank you so much for all you've done for aids and all the music you have given us. go on, sir. >> thank you all for dressing up. you look amazing. everybody else needs to do that and go on social media. yeah, baby. >> sir elton john, we thank you. everybody, you can find out more about the rocket fund by
8:40 am
visiting elton john aids foundation.org. coming up on good morning america, i should take these off. inside the supreme court decisions that have changed american lives. we'll be right back.

8:42 am
wendy: it allows us to create the school that our students deserve. rafael: community schools are innovative, and they're working. narrator: california's community schools: reimagining public education. >> we are back with michael walden. his new book is a deep dive into the supreme court and sweeping decisions that are shaking the country. it comes out tomorrow. welcome, michael. >> great to be with you. >> you wrote the supreme court
8:43 am
crammed decades of social justice cases in three days last june. explain. >> the life time justices, of course, they overturned roe v. wade, undoing abortion rights that women had trusted in the constitution for half a century. they issued the most sweeping second amendment ruling ever saying basically that you cannot consider public safety. they made it much harder for government agencies to protect the environment and do other things like that. they crammed decades of social change into those three days affecting millions of lives and more to come. >> more to come. we'll have more decisions coming later this month. of course that roe v. wade decision was preceded by an unbelievable leak. what's the significance of that? >> well, they rely on silence on being treated as a court on trust. it helped collapse public trust in the court that the opinion leaked. there have been other leaks in the country's history before.
8:44 am
even the dread scott ruling way back when. it's part of the kind of politics engulfing the court where they are attacking each other and the public is not seeing them as not politics but part of it. >> clarence thomas is facing questions about unethics because he received some payments, some gifts from a big republican donor. is there any way to police this famously supreme court justices don't live under the same ethics guidelines other judges do. >> i think nobody is so wise that they should be the judge in their own case. the supreme court needs a binding ethics code just the same way all the other courts have. congress can do it or the court can do it itself. i think also that there ought to be 18 year term limits for supreme court justices. george washington had the insight that nobody should have too much public power for too long when he stepped down. that's a broad idea that's very popular on left and right in this country.
8:45 am
>> popular on left and right. any real chance that this could happen any time soon? >> it could be done by constitutional amendment. the more people see this court as out of touch as radical in some instances, as up ending their lives or up ending politics the more pressure there's going to be for action for the reform of the court. >> the chief justice roberts, it's not really his court, is it? >> we give it that name as a convenience. he's on one vote. he holds the gavel. in a lot of ways clarence thomas holds the power. the idea that the only way you can interpret the constitution is to ask in effect what it meant in 1791. that is what is affecting so many of these rulings, at least it's the argument that's being made one after another is these rulings are issued to the public. >> you don't mince your words. you believe the supreme court is a threat to democracy? >> i think the country is moving in one direction over time and the court is veering sharply in
8:46 am
another direction. when you have that kind of gap, public trust collapses and it can really create a crisis. that's where i think we are. we saw the response in the mid term elections where responding to the dobbs case on abortion rights, democrats had the best mid term election in decades. it looks like it's going to have a similar consequence in other races in 2024 and beyond. >> that's really the only way to change the court, right? >> i think more than anything else, we the people need to understand this matters a lot. i think conservatives have understood this for a long time. i think liberals now are waking up. the actions of the court should be debating whether they should have these life time appointments and this much power and what it means for our democracy, absolutely. >> michael walden, thanks for coming in. super majority is available tomorrow. ginger? >> they have such a fantastic snow board and ski season in chicago. they just finished up.

8:50 am
family. it can be difficult as a parent to learn about a child's queer or trans identity and know the right way to be supportive. our becky worley takes a closer look. >> reporter: if you're a parent whose child comes out to you, it can be scary, both from recent controversies and the parents own experience of kids who are gay when they were teenagers. when you were growing up, what was it like to be a gay kid? >> i actually can think of one friend or one person in our school who was openly gay. >> there was an incident i remember that was a child, high school that was hazed. >> i just feel like they would never have been accepted or fit in. >> i think that's the fear for us as parents. my child is going to be alone. >> i was scared to death, quite honestly. still scared. >> my family immigrated from iran. they were not open at all. >> reporter: their kids and a few others gathered inside the theater in san jose, california. as they talked, a different picture started to emerge.
8:51 am
>> with the amount of acceptance we have in young people, there's not really as much of a stigma around being queer and open about it. >> reporter: in many parts of the country, it's not as hard as it used to be for kids to be different. >> i find myself looking forward to going to school. that's just putting a pep in my step for getting to that point in my life. >> it's just become much more normalized. >> reporter: this harvard professor said the legalization of gay marriage and the creation of online communities for the lgbtq + population. >> there are also a lot of different spaces in which kids are affirmed. this idea of sexuality is fluid is more normalized and really a part of sort of the social landscape that kids are navigating where kids can actually seek out and find acceptance in different communities. >> reporter: that mixed bag
8:52 am
mirrors what the kids said. >> it's about progress. we're getting recognized more. we're also getting persecuted more. >> reporter: like in ryan's school district, they had a pride prom, where queer kids from different schools gathered for their own dance. >> it was one of the best nights of my life when i went. >> reporter: for these parents who are already on the journey with their kids, it's not as scary as it was when they started out. >> i get educated more and more about gender identity from my kid and it's amazing. >> reporter: i think the biggest thing that i have realized in this journey is that my child is still my child. his character has not changed. >> now i kind of changed my ways of seeing our kids. as long as they're happy, we're happy. >> one thing i know from talking to your parents all of them expressed their love and acceptance of you. so i hope you feel that. for good morning america, becky worley. abc news, san jose, california.
