aaron katersky is tracking the case from atlanta. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. what an incredible thought. a former president of the united states must make bail. that's the reality for donald trump, who posted on social media he will turn himself in here on thursday. when he does, he's going to need to come with cash. the judge set former president trump's bond at $200,000, the first of his four criminal indictments to require trump to post bond. he'll have to pay 10% when he surrenders in fulton county, where he and 18 others are charged with conspireing to overturn trump's election loss in georgia. district attorney fani willis personally signed the order after meeting with trump's attorneys. they agreed to rules for trump's release. he can make no direct or indirect threat towards any potential witnesses, including his 18 alleged co-conspirators. that includes posts on social

media or reposts of posts made by another individual. to comply, that means trump may have to soften his rhetoric about the case and his personal attacks against willis. some of trump's co-defendants learned of their bonds, too. >> it was very straight forward. we had a meeting with the d.a.'s office, worked out the negotiated deal, signed the paperwork. >> reporter: kenneth chesboro and john eastman, who are accused of proposing they use fake electors to keep trump in power each had bond set at $100,000. a court filing suggests eastman will surrender wednesday. a judge set $50,000 for ray smith, an atlanta attorney who allegedly offered advice to trump electors and $10,000 for scott hall a bail bondsman allegedly linked to stolen election data. the sheriff said he expects all 19 defendants to be fingerprinted and have their mug shots taken. trump said he's coming thursday. that's one day before the deadline. and, george, it's just hours

after the first republican debate which, of course, trump says he will not attend. george? >> that's right, aaron. trump is skipping the first republican primary debate. eight rivals will be on stage. rachel scott has a preview. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning, george. the chair of the rnc was holding out hope that the president would show up but donald trump is making it clear, he is siting this one out. eight republican candidates will be on the stage in milwaukee tomorrow night. former arkansas governor asa hutchison qualifying at the very last minute. while most of trump's rivals have been hesitant to criticize him as he faces multiple investigations, nearly everyone in this crowded republican field is going after him for sitting this debate out. former new jersey governor chris christie calling him a coward. florida governor ron desantis saying that anyone that wants the republican nomination should show up and debate. the big question, how does this field take on a front runner who is not there? sources tell me desantis is now bracing for an onslaught of attacks.

one thing that is clear, with trump's commanding lead, everyone on that stage will be looking for a break through moment. >> it will be interesting to watch. rachel, thank you. now to president biden and the first lady visiting maui to see the devastation firsthand and meeting with survivors of the disaster. mola lenghi is there in maui for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. the trip comes amid mounting frustration by victims, questions about officials' handling of this disaster. president biden and first lady jill biden touching down on maui, getting a personal look at the devastation. in the air and on the ground. >> the country grieves with you, stands with you and will do everything possible to help you recover. >> reporter: later meeting with community members for 70 minutes. >> there's no quit in hawaii. there's no quit in america. there's no quit in us. >> reporter: but this morning questions about the county's response and toll on the community mount.

our affiliate kitv reviewed some archival footage showing the mayor on their 6 p.m. broadcast on the day of the fires. >> i'm happy to report that the road is open to and from lahaina. >> reporter: seemingly unaware that half hour before this interview, evacuees had already fled into the water. >> the fire starting to die. >> reporter: and this video at 5:34 p.m. from the highway shows the town up in smoke. the mayor going on to say -- >> we have reports of structures, older buildings that have been burned in lahaina. we are updated, going to come in about 7:00 p.m. >> reporter: by 7:00 p.m., it would be hours after those first images of lahaina burning. the mayor did not respond to our request for comment on the kitv report, but in a press conference on friday the mayor addressed criticism about the emergency response, saying there's always second guessing in any situation. but the right thing to do was

cooperate with any investigation and care for the people in need. officials work to identify the 114 people killed in this fire, 850 people remain unaccounted for. fema says roughly 2,000 displaced people have been temporarily placed in hotels. robin? >> mola, our thanks to you. a rescue operation under way after a cable snapped on a cable car leaving eight people trapped inside midair. marcus moore joins us with the latest. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: hi. good morning, robin. we have been watching this delicate and urgent rescue operation unfolding in northwestern pakistan. this cable car snapped and has been dangling about 900 feet above the valley. we have just learned two children have been rescued in the midst of this operation that's been going on now for well over ten hours. it's approaching night time hours in pakistan.

earlier today there have been attempts to either rescue the people trapped in this cable car or at the very least to try to get them food and water as they endure this horrible situation. pressure from the helicopters that have been involved were causing the cable car to sway heavily. we understand that the children who have been involved in this range in ages from 10 to 15 or 16 years old. white young. it's unclear what caused the cable car to snap. where it stopped left rescuers with very few options. we saw them trying to use the helicopters in the mean time. this cable car carries 150 kids every day to and from school because of the terrain this urgent operation continues this morning. >> such a terrifying situation there. please do keep us updated. now the fatal shooting of a california business owner after an alleged dispute over a pride flag outside her store. authorities identifying the now deceased suspect in her killing. kayna whitworth has details. good morning.

>> reporter: robin, good morning. authorities saying the 27-year-old gun man was actually reported missing by his family the day prior and that the murder weapon, a semiautomatic handgun was not registered to him. this morning authorities revealing new details in the murder of that beloved california store owner. >> igegachui tore down a rainbow flag hanging in front of the mag pi store and yelled many slurs toward carlton. >> reporter: police say laura ann carlton confronted the gun man, travis ikeguchi when he murdered her and then took off on foot about an hour outside los angeles. >> when the twin peaks deputies tried to apprehend the suspect, he shot at the deputies striking several vehicles. >> reporter: deputies returned fire, shooting and killing the suspect. authorities say ikeguchi was active on social media, posting critical comments about the

lgbtq + community and anti-law enforcement content. in striking contrast, carlton described as a fierce advocate. >> she was such a unique and staunch and fierce individual, it's going to be hard to replace the energy that was there, the power that was lori. >> reporter: lgbt people are nine times more likely to be victims of violent hate crimes, according to a study by the williams institute at ucla's school of law. now the loss of the 66-year-old mother of nine sending shock waves across her mountain town community and the nation. >> this particular victim has had an impact, really, across the united states. we have been reached out to by the vice president of the united states. our victim certainly had a major impact on the community and people that she's come across during her life time. >> reporter: so now authorities are investigating to make sure no hate groups were involved with this murder but linsey, at this time they do believe the

gunman acted alone. >> kayna, thank you. now to soaring mortgage rates. the 30-year rate now topping 7.5%. this is the highest level since 2000. rebecca jarvis is here to break down what this all means. just astounding numbers here, rebecca. >> they just keep climbing. it's especially difficult if you are a first time home buyer. that average 30 year fixed rate mortgage is now 7.48%. that's the highest level since november of 2000. it's up from about 5.6% this time last year. so what does all of this mean in real terms? let's say you were looking at buying a $400,000 home a year ago with that standard 20% down payment. your mortgage would have run you about 2,295 a month before taxes and fees. today, given where rates are, that same $400,000 home is gonna cost you $2,691 or about $400 more every month.

that is just because of where interest rates are. a key reason that we keep seeing rates rise is that the federal reserve aggressively has been hiking interest rates. even though we're starting to see those increases slow down, the housing market is susceptible to rate increases, making it more expensive to borrow. so how long do we expect this to continue? we expect to see mortgage rates continuing to climb at least through the end of this year. many experts believe the fed is not going to stop interest rate hikes. certainly not lower them until sometime next year, guys. >> those are staggering numbers, to say the least. rebecca, thank you. coming up, we have the new report on close calls in the sky and runway. sully sullenberger is going to join us live to break it down for you. why more americans are struggling to pay their car loan payments. what to know before you buy. plus a study that links more screen time to delayed development in babies. dr. ashton is here with a

reality check. first danielle breezy in for ginger. good morning, danielle. >> glad to be with you. we want to talk about all that heat that is beginning to build in the middle of the country. we now have excessive heat warnings from minneapolis to dallas. by the way, a feels like temperature of 150 or near it was recorded yesterday in iowa. so it is hot out there. high pressure building in. it's going to be hot across the country. minneapolis, if it hits 100 degrees, it would be the first time since the '80s in augusto do just that. your local weather in 30 seconds.

potentially dangerous incidents may be more common than previously understood even happening on a daily basis. we'll hear exclusively from pilot sully sullenberger in a moment. first victor oquendo has the latest on this report. good morning to you, victor. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. we're talking about an alarming number of near misses. according to the new york times there were about 300 reports of close calls in the last year. at least 46 in the last month alone. >> 1943 cancel takeoff. >> reporter: in january, a delta plane almost colliding with an american airlines flight that was on the wrong runway at jfk. the pilot slamming on the brakes. the next month in austin -- >> southwest abort. fedex is on the go. >> reporter: a fedex cargo plane coming within 100 feet of a southwest flight packed with passengers. weeks later in boston air traffic control telling a lear jet pilot to wait before taking off because a jet blue plane was

landing on an intersecting runway. >> jet blue. >> reporter: the pilot taking off anyway forcing the jet blue plane to go from 87 feet to 3900. >> hitting the ground and going back up within seconds you definitely got a jolt. nobody knew what was going on. >> reporter: in the new york times review of internal faa safety documents and in a nasa database, they found only a fraction of near misses and midair scares have been publicly disclosed. the new york times is looking at massive databases. it's bringing to light some instance haven't been publicly known. most have been factors involving human error. >> reporter: what's behind the concerns? one factor, an on going shortage of air traffic controllers and more planes in the sky. according to a report from the department of transportation inspector general this june, 20 of 26 critical air traffic control facilities were staffed below the fresh hold with air traffic controllers working

mandatory overtime and six day workweeks to cover the shortages. the number of air traffic controllers down 10% over the last decade. the air traffic controllers union tells abc news this is not sustainable. the faa tells us the u.s. aviation system is the safest in the word, but one close call is one too many. robin? >> that is true, victor. thank you. joining us now is sully sullenberger. known for the miracle on the hudson landing. he is an airline safety expert, former ambassador to the international civil aviation organization. ambassador sullenberger, it is so good to have you back here on gma. we always appreciate your insight. want to know how troubling do you find these findings of this new york times investigation, sully? >> let me put this in perspective. in the last 40 or 50 years we've

done something that many years ago i would have never thought possible. we have made aviation ultrasafe. safest form of transportation in human history. but these recent incidents are concerning because it is often the last layer of safety that saved the day. >> we did hear in victor's report that the article found a shortage of air traffic controllers is part of the problem. how do we address that? >> there's no short term fix. what we need to do is take a long term view and congress needs to provide predictable long term funding to hire and train new air traffic controllers, which takes years. in the mean time we shouldn't be doing that. the more work load, the longer shifts people work, the more mistakes they're going to make. i think that's what we're seeing right now. >> as you said, staffing just is going to take such a long time, training up to five years. in addition to what you just said, are there any other measures that can be taken to

put passengers' fears at bay? >> just to keep things in perspective, the chances of you having a fatal airline accident are very, very small, almost nonexistent. people, the professionals, the pilots, the flight attendants that take care of you will keep you safe. >> as you started off by saying, the faa says, one near miss is one too many. as you pointed out as well, the safety record. no fatal u.s. airline crash since 2009. so how can you reassure folks that it's safe to be in the air, air travel? >> well, we're long past the date where we could define safety as the absence of accidents. for decades we've had to do much more than that. by looking at these incidents before they can lead to harm and take effective action, that's how we keep everyone safe on every flight. >> the new york times really had

to dig for this information. does there need to be more transparency about near misses? >> yes. we collect a lot of data in aviation. we can do a better job of disseminating it and using it effectively to keep air travellers safe. >> that's what we want to see. ambassador sullenberger, thank you very much. it's always good to spend sometime with you. again, we appreciate your insight. we take care. hope you and the family are doing well. >> we are. thank you very much. good to be with you. >> george? >> thank you, robin. coming up, why many families are having trouble finding child care options. and many people are struggling to pay their car loan. >> severely delinquent loans are the highest since 2006 even though unemployment is low. i'm going to explain why it's happening and how you can navigate buying a car when gma returns. returns.

we are back with the rising cost of cars. sales are strong but many americans are having trouble making the monthly payments. rebecca jarvis has details. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: when you look at these details, it's a pretty stark contrast. a few years ago, there were a dozen new car models that sold for less than $20,000. but today there's just one model, and the average used car price is now $27,000 up 30% from prepandemic levels with more drivers falling behind on their payments. this morning between higher car

prices and the soaring cost of car loans, consumers are getting squeezed on both sides of the transaction. and now a growing number are falling behind on their monthly bills. >> car prices are high and interest rates keep rising so it's challenging for consumers to come up with these big monthly payments. >> reporter: according to a new report from cox automotive, delinquencies have been climbing for the last three months, with the number of people behind on their car payments up 15.7% in july from a year ago. those severely delinquent, the highest since 2006. a surprising trend with unemployment near historic lows. >> some of it is because there was some relief during the pandemic in terms of payments. banks didn't go after people late on payments. now those have all changed. >> reporter: another issue, fewer car models at lower prices.

>> the month of july there was only one new car in the united states that transacted for a price under $20,000. and that was the mitsubishi mirage. >> reporter: the typical payment for a new car now $762 a month. with an interest rate of 9.5%. if you're buying used that rate a staggering 13.7%. >> we really started looking for a car, i think i was shocked. >> reporter: 16-year-old addison and her mom in the market for a car in denver. so far they haven't been able to find anything in budget. >> we thought we could get her a new car for $8,000. we went to $10,000. that doesn't even seem possible. it's just upsetting just to feel like there's no options. to feel like i'm never going to find like a good car. >> reporter: the experts' advice, do your research and be patient. >> may have to make some compromises and watch for incentives that are offered by the manufacturer.

we know the interest rates aren't going to go down much but we may see automakers offer low interest financing for people with good credit. >> so if the rates aren't going down what do people need to buy a car soon? >> the good news is the trade in value of your old car. you're going to get paid more a maximum value for that trade in. but if you are able to wait according to edmond's, october, november and december are the best months for prices. december has the year's highest discount msrp, 6.1% rather of msrp. the average interest rates seem like they could be going down later next year. the incentives for automakers are much higher towards the end of the year. they're eager to clear all that old inventory out. linsey and i were just talking about this during the break. we are seeing this in the housing market, too. during the pandemic there weren't enough houses built. during the pandemic there weren't enough cars built.

symptoms. infants are more vulnerable to severe rsv. this vaccine could help reduce that risk. in clinical trials there was a slightly higher number of premature births in women who received the vaccine. the fda says there's not enough evidence to establish a link, but to avoid any risk, doctors must adhere to that 32-36 week pregnancy timeline for shot. the fda is also requiring the drug maker to conduct more studies to see if there is any link. so when will we see these shots roll out? the cdc still needs to sign off on this. it has a meeting planned in late october. we could see the vaccine rolled out later this year. in the mean time, infants will have access to a new tool to reduce their risk of rsv, a shot for infants less than 8 months old. guys? >> okay. thank you, eva. coming up in our gma morning menu, with child care costs on the rise and facilities closing, what some families are doing to make it work. another parenting headline. new study on screen time and development in babies.

time for a gma cover story. we're taking a look at america's child care system and solutions to the challenges care givers are facing. rebecca jarvis triple duty today. >> this is an important one though, george. i'm glad to be back on this. this is a familiar refrain, whether it's my own friends, family or viewers, i hear from moms every single day who are either quitting jobs or cutting back at work because of the soaring cost of child care. while it can vary greatly depending on where you live, the average cost of day care today is more than $1,000 a month. >> go park the van. go park the truck. >> reporter: like more than half of americans iowa native taylor eisenhower and her husband eric rely on day care for their two children.

but last month they were left scrambling when they found out their day care was abruptly closing. >> we were notified on tuesday that friday would be our last day. the abruptness of how quickly these places can get shut down for various reasons has been the biggest struggle with child care. >> reporter: the day care relied partially on child care assistance from the state, but it wasn't enough. taylor says this was her third day care in two years. >> it's a really scary feeling. and then you have to scramble for care and hope that whoever you find is a reliable and trustworthy person to care for your kids. >> reporter: $50 billion in relief funding from congress helped child care programs across the country rebound after the pandemic. but most of those funds will expire in september, potentially causing many to lose access to child care. >> child care businesses are gonna be put into the position of having to either raise fees on parents or lower the wages of their child care teachers. and that will likely lead to more teachers leaving the field.

>> reporter: mean time, the cost of child care is on the rise up more than 14% over the last five years with the average cost per child nearly $11,000 per year. >> in this country right now, child care businesses are relying almost entirely on parent fees to cover those high costs. and in many places around the country are paying more than their mortgage or rent for child care for an infant. >> reporter: in a call to action, many states are now passing their own legislation. for example, last year alabama approved a $40 million investment in pre-k and child care, while nevada announced a $50 million investment to make it more affordable for lower income families. >> when families don't have reliable child care, they're more likely to be absent from work. they're less likely to be focused and productive, so it is really beneficial for families to have high quality child care, but equally beneficial for businesses.

>> reporter: taylor says they were lucky to find another facility. >> i have gone through sleepless nights worrying about where i'm going to send my kids. fortunately they got to spend time with their grandparents and we were able to get them into a reliable day care. while i feel really lucky, i know there are dozens who were not able to find care. >> it is fortunate when you have family and relatives nearby like that. last month the biden administration announced a series of child care proposals for more affordable child care benefitting 80,000 families by capping co-pays at no more than 7% of a family's income. right now families are paying about 27% of their income, hundreds of thousands of child care providers would get paid earlier and based on their enrollment. but the overall national average price of day care and preschool services is still up 6% last month from a year ago. that is nearly double, guys, the overall inflation rate here. >> that is something. any signs it's easing? >> it's not likely.

families are starting to come together. what you see in all of this is that there's this mismatch. families are paying higher prices, but the providers themselves, the people who provide that child care, are also seeing their costs go up. in many ways they are already underpaid. the best solutions right now we're hearing about are with families and communities coming together to collectively try and address this. we'll have more on that coming up soon, george. >> rebecca, thank you very much. linsey? now to the study linking more screen time with delayed development in babies. joining us for a reality check is our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. give us just the basic idea of this study. >> this was done in japan. we have to note it's based on observation and association, not cause and effect. they looked at about 7,000, 1-year-old babies and reevaluated them a year later based on surveys or questionnaires their parents were given. they found a clear dose response effect. the more screen time these babies had at 1 year of age the

worse their developmental milestones were at 2 years of age, particularly in the realm of communication. some of those developmental issues like growth, motor skills and problem solving skills may have shown a ding at age 2 but then compensated and recovered by age 4. but again, this showed the more screen time, not good for a 1-year-old brain. >> i think it's important to clarify also with screen time, we don't just mean tablets and phones. we're also talking about tv's. what do you think is the general take away for parents? >> listen, i think a lot of people in the realm of pediatrics, parents, anyone who deals with newborn children, babies, toddlers, even teens know that we want to monitor and curtail and restrict screen time. babies at 1 year of age need face to face communication. they need that for their social development. they need that for their language development. you can't sub that out with a screen.

and so again, the more data we have that supports that, that it should be a wakeup call. as easy and tempting as it is, even at 1 year of age, babies really need that human, direct, in person contact. >> as children get older, there are some benefits? >> there are. i think it's really important to remember this. this is age dependent and based on the content not just the quantity. potential benefits for older children, communication language improvement or benefit, some problem solving skills can benefit. some social and emotional range. children can learn with screen time. it's just matter of what the content is and how much they're getting. >> my son will be saying, dr. jen said it was okay. >> no, no, no. >> thank you, jen. robin? >> thanks so much, linsey. scam u with a warning about a scheme sweeping social media tricking people into thinking they can get a government grant, only to give up their personal information.

erielle reshef has that story for us. >> reporter: this is a sophisticated one. fraudsters pose as government agents and help you secure a grant. it's all part of what experts warn is a convincing scam and it could cost you thousands. this morning an urgent warning, falsely claiming you could win a grant from the u.s. government. >> this fraud is really convincing. scammers are stealing our information. >> reporter: investigators at the human health and services department say they're seeing a sharp uptick in these scams, offering free government grants to start a business or buy a home or pay for school tuition. the scam post shared by supposed agents claiming to be associated with hhs. according to investigators, the scammers steal money from victims by posing as a trusted family member or friend on social media. then luring them to a fake hhs

website which requests personal and financial information to apply for the grant. >> who's being targeted by this scam? anyone from 18-80. i have seen individuals being contacted who are students, who are retired. really anyone and everyone. >> reporter: authorities saying some scammers even sending photos of fraudulent checks to try and convince the victim these grants are legitimate. hhs says they see losses upwards of $10,000 to $15,000. rich frankel says this type of scam is more dangerous because scammers are monitoring their victims' social media. >> you put on social media, pray for me, i'm having this trouble. they are able to use that to their advantage to craft a question that really targets you. >> reporter: and a stark reminder. >> the government will never call you and ask for your personal information. if you get any of these calls, hang up. >> reporter: our law enforcement

expert said he, himself, has been targeted by this very scam. he emphasizes these government imposters don't discriminate and anyone can fall victim. hhs says they'll never offer grants for homes or individual businesses. definitely don't want to let your guard down. >> you cannot for one second these days. all right. thank you. are you all feeling that breeze? ginger is away. danielle breezy from our national station wkrn. you were destined for a career as a meteorologist. >> i was definitely destined. got to thank my husband for the name. breezy. how about the windy city today? this is chicago. want to show you low level clouds over the sky line this morning. we are talking about a record heat dome. we've got excessive heat watches for chicago. you're going to feel like 91 today. it's going to be steamy from minneapolis down to little rock and memphis. that high pressure dome sinks farther south. if chicago gets to 100 it would be the first time in more than a decade. nashville, 100 will be close to record highs.

ending, surely you are a believer in fairy tales. charity's journey coming to a fairy-tale ending. >> charity lawson, will you marry me? >> reporter: giving her final rose and heart to dawson. overnight charity and dawson talked to gma moments after the epic finale. congratulations you two. how does it feel to be engaged? >> oh my gosh. i mean -- >> hard to put into words. a big shift from a few months ago of not being engaged. it couldn't have went down better. >> reporter: that final rose ceremony, the words you all spoke to each other sounded like wedding vows. >> you've made me feel adored, validated and wanted and to receive that from a woman of your caliber, charity. >> i saw a man that respected me, that valued me, that adored me.

but a man that i could love forever. you've made me feel so valued and so seen. intentionality with how he speaks. every single word has so much weight and meaning. >> he one upped me. i was like, this is supposed to be my turn. i'm totally cheesing. like, it was so beautiful. >> reporter: their love story blossoming since night one. >> i feel like i came here because i was called here for a reason. >> shivers through my body. i know i was not alone. >> shivers through my body, too. i will never be able to express how grateful i am for the forces that be that brought us together. i didn't want to do it but something kept telling me to do it. my heart is going to burst open thinking about it. >> reporter: that's not all. he surprised charity with something they can both look forward to.
