we look at the procedure this morning. >> gio: getting his shot. how a law student with little basketball experience got into the nba draft by reading the fine print. >> whit: and out of harm's way. the quick-thinking school police officer who prevented a tragedy, hailed as a hero on this father's day. and good morning, america, and happy father's day to all the dads out there. >> gio: happy father's day to you. >> janai: you see that pause. he wants -- >> whit: i was waiting. i was waiting. >> janai: thank you for everything. >> whit: i get to spend my full day at kids' soccer games today. just like every dad does. >> janai: lucky pops. >> whit: we have a lot to cover this morning. we start with secretary of state antony blinken arriving in beijing overnight for two days of talks amid growing tension between the u.s. and china, the world's two biggest economies. >> gio: and we are watching this story at home, of course, that

dangerous stretch of hot weather and severe storms that battered the tulsa, oklahoma, area overnight with damaging winds of over 100 miles an hour. >> janai: we'll get to that. we begin overseas. those talks in beijing taking place following multiple incidents this year that include that chinese jet passing in front of an american spy plane. a chinese warship coming perilously close to a u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait, and of course, you remember the chinese spy balloon flying over the states. china meanwhile has its own grievances including claims the u.s. carries out hacking attacks. let's get the latest now from abc's matt rivers who joins us live from beijing. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, janai. right now secretary of state antony blinken in a series of crucial meetings with senior chinese officials, and i can tell you from being on the ground here, there is no shortage of tense issues to discuss. this morning, high-stakes diplomacy. secretary of state antony

blinken touching down in china. first up, a meeting with chinese foreign minister qin gang. the critical visit coming at a time of strained relations between the two countries, and marking the highest ranking member of the biden administration yet to visit beijing. before departing, secretary blinken emphasizing the importance of diplomacy. >> intense competition requires sustained diplomacy to ensure we do not veer into confrontation or conflict. >> reporter: while in the country, secretary blinken plans to discuss issues like china's role in the fentanyl crisis, the war in ukraine, and tensions over taiwan. this trip coming on the heels of a series of what the u.s. calls provocations by china which have further strained relations between the two countries. most recently a chinese warship just weeks ago seen getting dangerously close to an american destroyer in the taiwan strait. and last month, a chinese fighter jet streaking in front of a u.s. plane. blinken's trip initially scheduled for february, but was

postponed after a chinese spy balloon made its way into u.s. air space before getting shot down by the military. the biden administration hoping that this visit could help smooth things over and potentially lay the groundwork for a possible meeting between president xi jinping and president biden later this year. >> i'm hoping that over the next several months, i'll be meeting with xi again and talking about legitimate differences we have, but also those areas we can get along. >> reporter: now i asked a senior state department official here on the ground what's the likelihood of that biden/xi meeting taking place. that official not wanting to get out in front of his boss saying, only he would take president biden at his word. >> whit: matt, you mention the hopes for president biden to potentially meet with xi in the future. but what about secretary of state blinken while he's there, could he meet with the chinese president? >> reporter: that is the big outstanding question at this point. there's a chunk of time in secretary of state blinken's schedule tomorrow that is not filled by anything.

that's when that meeting would take place if it happens. based on my read, i think it's more likely than not that that meeting takes place. anything can happen. the last time there was a meeting here in 2019 with mike pompeo president xi declined. whit? >> whit: matt rivers, thank you. >> gio: all right. we move to the campaign trail where president biden is hoping to energize his base amid low poll numbers and a key endorsement might help. abc's karen travers joins us now from philadelphia where the president held his first major rally. good morning, karen. >> reporter: gio, good morning. the biden campaign's strategy over the next several months is to show the president governing, working for the american people. his trip to philadelphia gave him a chance to highlight his efforts to rebuild that portion of i-95 that collapsed and rev up a key voting group. [ chanting "four more years" ] >> reporter: president biden hitting the campaign trail for the first time, rallying supporters in the critical battleground state of pennsylvania.

>> hello, organized labor! union labor! >> reporter: before a fired up crowd of 2,000 union members in philadelphia, the president accepting the endorsement of the powerful afl cio which represents 60 unions and more than 12 million workers. it's the earliest ever presidential endorsement by the labor group, a move the biden campaign says will kick start a major organizing effort to get him re-elected. the president touting his work growing the economy, creating jobs, and signing that $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law. >> whenever you need a reminder of how important infrastructure was in the country, i got a reminder just a few days ago right here in philly. >> reporter: the president taking an aerial tour over that deadly i-95 overpass collapse in philadelphia, viewing the devastation from marine 1. >> there's no more important project in the country right now. >> reporter: but as he begins to

turn his focus to re-election, the president's approval rating at a career low as polls show americans are concerned about his age and ability to serve. union members we spoke to at the philadelphia rally brushed that off. >> no concerns with his age. joe is very active. he's on top of the things that he's doing with the country. >> i work alongside guys that are 76 years old and still laying bricks. so if he can do the job at his age, you know, more power to him. >> reporter: and support like that from union members will be critical for the president's re-election bid. biden campaign officials say the afl cio will launch an outreach program in key battleground states. the president said that will make a gigantic difference in this campaign. gio? >> gio: all right, karen, thank you so much. let's bring in jonathan karl who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. jon, good morning to you. let's go ahead and start with president biden here because we've seen that approval rating. just 31% in the latest abc news/ipsos poll, far less than what we saw going into the 2020 election. what does he need to do now in

the early days of his campaign? >> reporter: gio, he needs to find a way to energize core democratic voters, voters who frankly aren't that energized right now. they've got essentially a two-pronged strategy on that. one is to tout the accomplishments of the biden administration, and there are significant accomplishments, but also to raise the specter of a return of donald trump, the fear that donald trump could return to the white house, and what that would mean for america. and, you know, so part of it is vote for me. i've done it. i can do it again. but perhaps the bigger and more important part is, whatever you think of me, donald trump is the alternative. >> gio: so let's talk about that because you've got that republican field and former president trump following the indictment. he's still considered the front-runner, jon, but it's a growing field. what's your take on how the gop race is shaping up so far? >> reporter: i have to tell you, gio, it's astounding to see how republican voters have reacted

to all we have seen over the past few months. the two indictments especially. there is no sign of any dwindling support for donald trump. he still remains the clear front-runner. but what you are starting to see is some republicans, including those running against him, beginning to take him on in a way that frankly we have not seen for a long, long time. republicans talking about character and raising the possibility -- raising the question of his fitness for office. so we'll see where this goes. he's got a lot of baggage, and there's more baggage to come, but so far, no dwindling support among rank and file republican voters for trump. >> gio: we will see which strategy works. all right, jon karl, thank you my friend. good to see you. tune into "this week" later. jon will interview republican candidate asa hutchinson and democratic senator sheldon whitehouse on all the fallout from former president trump's historic indictment. janai? >> janai: all right, gio. from politics now to the weather

and that dangerous heat wave affecting millions of americans this morning spanning from texas to mississippi and beyond. somara theodore joins us live from houston where that heat index is likely to surpass 110 degrees again today. somara, good morning. the sun barely up, but i'm sure you're feeling it. >> somara: yes, janai. in fact, right where i'm standing, it feels like nearly 90 degrees. even this early, you can't spend prolonged amounts of time outdoors. houston residents are just trying to make the best of it. this man i spoke with, he told me he and his friend came out early to exercise, and they're staying hydrated. the man we met is like so many others who have moved to texas from elsewhere. officials say the population has jumped by nearly 25% in the past decade, increasing the pressure on the power grid. ercot, the company who operates about 90% of the state's power

said they're going to set records. at the moment, no outages, but the heat wave is far from over. we have to get to the severe weather because this heat and humidity is fueling these storms. look at this from laverne, oklahoma. the roof being ripped off by the sheer power of the wind. we also saw 100-mile-per-hour wind gusts out in tulsa, oklahoma leading to damage, trees down, and unfortunately today, we're looking at that severe weather threat shifting a bit farther east. so for your father's day this afternoon, cities like greenville, jackson, mississippi, montgomery, and mobile all in the enhanced risk for scattered tornadoes. janai? >> janai: somara, thank you. whit? >> whit: with the holiday travel season heating up, another incident involving two commercial jets. one plane clipping another's tail on the tarmac. a passenger capturing the moment on camera. abc's alex presha joins us with the latest. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, imagine your flight's about to take off, taxing down the tarmac.

you look out the window and you see your plane inching closer and closer to another until -- well that's what happened. the passengers in boston raising concerns ahead of a busy summer travel season. this morning, the faa is investigating this alarming runway collision at boston's logan airport. watch as united airlines 369 taxis to a holding pad. its winglet clips the tail of this parked delta 1657. both planes loaded with passengers. thankfully no one was hurt. >> i saw this other plane stationary, and we were just driving and it hit the other plane. >> reporter: daniel frederickson recorded this video. our affiliate wcvb spoke with him after he witnessed the slow speed crash play out on board that united flight. >> it felt scary and also annoyed because i didn't want to wait that long. >> reporter: united issuing a statement saying its customers deplaned normally at the gate. both united and delta working to rebook passengers. >> this particular incident is one of the things that will be an investigatory point. what were the markings on the ground? where were the different air crews supposed to be? >> reporter: as the summer travel season ramps up, incidents like this are raising

concerns. in february, two united planes clipped wings in newark. two more united planes clipped west wings in logan in early march. on wednesday, air traffic control in minneapolis ordered an american airlines flight to cancel its landing and circle around because a delta flight was still on the runway. there were eight close calls with commercial planes. in an effort to beef up safety measures, the ntsb held a runway incursion round table in may, and the faa released new runway safety guidance this year. it also earmarked more than $100 million in funds to reduce potential runway incursions at airports across the country. our experts caution that as summer travel season really kind of ramps up, we're likely to see more incidents like this. they also stress they are very few in terms of total air travel. gio? >> gio: and everyone agrees something needs to be done. alex, thank you so much. now to a growing and troubling mystery.

someone has sent dozens of letters with suspicious white powder to officials in kansas. the fbi now on the case with local authorities and abc's jay o'brien joins us now with the latest. good morning, jay. >> reporter: gio, good morning. officials here at the fbi now partnering with kansas law enforcement to try to figure out who sent these letters, why, and what that suspicious white powder substance was in them. a source familiar with the investigation tells abc news more than 80 of these letters have been reported across the state sent to kansas lawmakers and other government officials. state representative tory marie blew posting this picture of what she says was one of those letters, showing hazmat crews responding, writing, this is not okay. our affiliate kmbc obtaining a note that one lawmaker says was inside one of those envelopes calling it a gift and adding it important not to choke on your ambition.

state representative steven owens tells me he also received one of those letters and called that experience terrifying, saying he spotted this substance folded inside of a piece of paper inside that envelope. he calls the sender very thorough and very calculated, even using the return address of a local church to seemingly try to coax someone into opening the letter. now this morning, the kansas bureau of investigation says no injuries have been reported. janai? >> janai: good news, but all very concerning. jay o'brien, we appreciate you. this morning, an accused man a 19-year-old accused of posting anti-semitic material and sending messages threatening a mass shooting is waking up behind bars. abc's mona kosar abdi is here with the details and the fbi says this man was heavily armed. >> reporter: that's right, janai. good morning to you, janai. seann pietila's mother telling abc news he started consuming anti-semitic material online when he was isolated during the pandemic. now, she insists he is not violent and was not planning an attack. but fbi agents said when they

searched his home, they found ammunition, several firearms, accessories, a knife and a nazi flag. he's been charged with transmitting a communication containing a threat to injure another. they also seized pietila's phone, and in the notes app, they say he had identified a particular synagogue in east lansing, michigan, and a date, march 15, 2024. that is the same month and the day of the new zealand mosque attack in 2019 that killed 51 people. police say pietila admired that gunman and subscribed to his ideology. but according to authorities, pietila vowed his attack would be even bigger. pietila was arrested on the same day a jury convicted robert bowers of all 63 counts against him stemming from the 2018 mass shooting at pittsburgh's tree of life synagogue. 11 people died in what is still the deadliest anti-semitic attack in american history. bowers will be sentenced later this month, and he could receive the death penalty. of course, janai, we'll keep you updated on that case as well. >> janai: mona, we appreciate that and the work of the fbi there.

switching gears to sports janai and the u.s. open now. >> gio: you have to say it. >> janai: a father's day final round at los angeles country club with two players tied for the lead. wyndham clark trailed by one stroke going into saturday's play, but came back with a birdie on 18 to catch up with california native rickie fowler who earlier sank an amazing 70-foot putt. fowler hoping to finally win his first major while rory mcilroy finished one behind the co-leaders as he aims for his first major win in nine years. it is better when you guys say sports janai. >> whit: you can announce yourself. >> janai: i like it. >> whit: here i come, sports janai on the way. we want to turn now and get another check of the weather. let's go back to somara theodore in houston. we can see that sun coming up. that only means the heat is on its way too. >> somara: that's right, whit, and it's already feeling so soupy in the air right now. we're in for another oppressive and sweltering day. we haven't even reached the peak.

take a look at another scorcher as this high pressure continues to sit and meander over texas and louisiana just pumping in moisture, heat. today we are anticipating heat index values to reach 112 degrees in houston. areas like new orleans, 109. this heat dome sticks around. look at these triple-digit temperatures through the next four days. you know, it looks overwhelming looking at these numbers like a serial number here, but we are near 108 for a heat index value tomorrow by monday for the start of your week in dallas. that's a look at the weather across the country. let's see what's going on in your shayla: good morning. it is going to be breezy and cooler for us this father's day. we are going to see plenty of sunshine. the marine layer moving out quickly but temperatures will be cooler. no one making it to the 80's. highs in the 70's to 50's accompanied by really windy conditions. we are talking about quite a breeze today 20 to 30 miles per

hour with some wind lingering intoto >> somara: and that's a look at your forecast. whit, i'm going to go stay hydrated, drink some water, and happy father's day to you by the way. >> whit: thank you so much, somara. we appreciate it. we have to switch gears right now and turn to a real father's day story complete with a happy ending. the hero officer who saved a kindergartner from being pinned between two cars is speaking out. abc's jaclyn lee is here with those details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this was a real close call and could have been devastating, but thanks to this officer's quick thinking, that little kindergartner is doing just fine. this morning, a new jersey father of three is being called a hero. >> it's been very overwhelming. the support of the community has been outstanding. >> reporter: take a look at this stunning surveillance video of officer mike stallone quickly swooping in, saving a

kindergartner from almost being pinned in between two suvs in the school pickup line. >> just being between the cars was a very big concern. when i went to move forward towards her, she doubled back and started to run behind the car. >> reporter: officer stallone worked in law enforcement for decades before retiring. >> i spent 20 years in forensics. sort of worst-case scenario of everything. >> reporter: then he saw the new jersey police department was looking for someone to work in schools. >> i love children and i said, you know what, that might be something i would like to look into. >> reporter: he had been on the job at west ridge elementary for three weeks when his protective instincts kicked in at the first sign of danger. the video quickly going viral. the dad of three receiving an outpouring of support, especially on this father's day. officer stallone is happy to report that the little girl is thriving at school, which he says is the best thank you he could receive. >> i just want the kids not only to be safe, but to feel safe, and that's really my goal. >> reporter: and officer stallone tells us that the little girl doubled back behind

the car to get her hair clip. he says after he pulled her out of the way, he counted down, took a breath, and then picked it up. >> gio: what a hero. jaclyn, good to see you. thank you. coming up on "gma," bear attack investigation. what we're learning about the deadly mauling of a man at a campsite in arizona. >> janai: and jordan joins the nba draft. no, not that jordan, the basketball great. jordan the law student with no competitive experience. how he's managed to make his way into the nba draft this week. we'll be right back.

neighbor was being attacked by a bear. >> reporter: officials say multiple people saw the bear mauling 66-year-old steven jackson while he was sitting and sipping his morning coffee on friday outside his prescott property. >> we do know that it was an adult male bear. there was quite a struggle, and the bear attempted to -- or did actually move mr. jackson down away from his -- pulled him down off the hill quite a ways, maybe 75 yards. >> a bear to attack somebody in the morning like that, daylight -- it was daylight. >> reporter: neighbors say they tried stopping the bear. one even retrieved his rifle and shot it dead, but they could not act fast enough to save jackson. >> they heard him yelling and calling out for help. they responded. they tried to get the bear to stop attacking him. >> reporter: wildlife experts are now saying bear encounters are on the rise from backyards to tampa international airport last week. >> the key thing to understand

is generally speaking these bears want nothing to do with people, but they are opportunistic feeders. so they're coming into areas and that sometimes leads to these unfortunate, tragic events. >> reporter: in the arizona case, bystanders say they tried raising their arms, honking horns, and yelling like what experts recommend. experts also say there is one thing you should never do if you encounter a bear. >> never turn and run. put your hands up, make yourself look as large as possible. speak firmly, hey, bear. hey, bear, and slowly start to back off. hopefully that would work. bears do not want to have physical contact with people. >> reporter: that was, of course, not the case with the bear in arizona. our experts say that an autopsy for animals might reveal why the bear did this. they'll likely look to see, was he sick? did he have any serious injuries? any small fat stores could show he was desperate for food. janai? >> janai: still a terrifying story, zohreen. thank you. we'll switch it up now to get another check of the weather with somara theodore down there in soupy houston. >> somara: that's right, janai.
