7:09 am
offensive the confederate battle flag was to you and other african-americans in our state. >> reporter: lawmakers are clearly moved by the murder of one of their own, senator clementa pinckney's desk remains covered in black cloth. one of the nine people killed by an alleged gunman who took pictures of himself with a gun in one hand and a confederate flag in the other. >> we should pass this bill not because our friend was assassinated, because it's the right thing to do. >> reporter: but the flag supporters were equally passionate holding up a book with the name of 20,000 dead confederate soldiers. >> we're placing the blame of what one de ranked lunatic did on people that hold their southern heritage high and i don't think that's fair. >> is there people that still hate yes, they do. it taking down that flag going to make them stop hating? no it's not. >> reporter: but this is far from a done deal. lawmakers in the statehouse would have to go along with this and there are many more flag

good morning, america. right now, bill cosby's camp speaks out this morning responding to that newly released court document that quotes the comedian apparently admitting to obtaining a powerful sedative to give to young women. >> also right now, five people are recovering from injuries in that ice cave collapse that killed one person. warm weather causing the collapse. we're tracking that red flag fire danger in the west. and flash flood alerts in seven states. big questions about whether nascar will make a big change. growing calls for new measures to protect drivers and fans after that scary crash at daytona. >> it was scary when you saw that happen. good morning america, on this tuesday morning. team usa now home from that huge world cup victory breaking records, making history and now the big question will they get a ticker tape parade right here in new york city? can you believe it's never happened for a women's team?
7:31 am
and i know you're going to bring us that michael. >> that's hard to believe it's never happened before but we want to hear from everybody out there. we have so many people weighing in on our website right now and we're going to have much more about that just ahead. >> tallying it up. we begin with that bill cosby bombshell. an apparent confession he bought drugs to give to young women he wanted toave sex with. abc's linsey davis is the only tv reporter he's spoken to since his sex scandal broke and joins us now. >> good morning, george. the document from a section-- sexual abuse lawsuit was sealed for ten years and a judge agreeing to release it now off and onslaught of more than two dozen women came forward accusing him of drugging or sexually assaulting them. the stark contrast between bill cosby, the public moralist bill cosby, the subject of serious allegations is a matter as to which the public has a significant interest. this morning, the latest words making headlines in the bill cosby saga are his own.
7:32 am
a sealed court document made public monday stating the embattled comedian said yes when asked under oath if he purchased quaaludes, prescription sedatives to give to young women he wanted to have sex with. a lawyer asks him, you gave them to other people? cosby answers yes. the lawyer follows up with when you got the quaalude was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with again, cosby answers, yes. the apparent admission was exposed after a judge agreed to release a plaintiff's motion that quotes cosby's deposition from a 2005 sexual abuse case brought against him by andrea constand a former employee of temple university. cosby's alma mater. accusing him of sexually assaulting her in his pennsylvania home. >> my lips are sealed. >> reporter: the man known as america's favorite dad also admitting to giving the drug to a different woman he met in las vegas saying she meets me back many stage.
7:33 am
i give her quaaludes, we then have sex. i sat down exclusively with cosby in may, the now 77-year-old remaining tight-lipped. >> i have been in this business 52 years and i will -- i've never seen anything like this. and reality is the situation a i can't speak. >> reporter: do you feel that the media has been unfair to you? >> i can't speak on that. i just don't want to argue. >> reporter: in 2006 cosby settled the constand case for an un undisclosed amount and has never been criminally charged in connection with those allegations or other allegations of drugging and/or sexual assault from over two dozen other women. his representatives telling abc news exclusively overnight the only reason mr. cosby settled was because it would have been embarrassing in those days to put all those women on the stand and his family had no clue.
7:34 am
that would have been very hurtful. just last week in new jersey where there's no statute of limitations on rape a prosecutor there refused to file charges in the latest case against cosby by an actress who alleged he had raped her. a representative says his lawyers are reviewing the document and will have a statement shortly. george. >> okay linsey thanks. let's talk to dan abrams about this. so new jersey has no statute of limitations but he's facing a lot of allegations and no most cases the statute of limitations has long passed. >> it soups counterintuitive. we heard bill cosby essentially confessed yet you can't use that against him in some court of law and the answer is as a practical legal matter this may not have much impact. you still have statute of limitations problems in most of the states. in new jersey it seems the prosecutor didn't want to move forward for whatever reason. but it doesn't change the statute of limitations that he has now made this statement. now, it is possible this could
7:35 am
be used in a deaf father pace lawsuit. it's been filed -- >> that's what i was going to say. there were four filed against him. how would it affect those. >> they could use it as evidence. the whole point of it his representative said i was lying and now here's further proof that what those representatives said isn't true. now, the problem is the representatives tend to be talking about specific people and bill cosby in the statement didn't identify who he was talking about. so how helpful it'll be we don't know but i don't think there's any question that these plaintiffs who are suing for defamation will try to use this as part of their lawsuit. >> we just heard that there might be a statement from cosby's camp but very likely his lawyers will still tell him don't say anything. >> obviously. do not say a word about this. and listen to bill cosby's statements every time even when he spoke to linsey any other statements that he's made he's been really careful not to address the specifics of these allegations. he's not saying they're lying. it's not true.
7:36 am
he's saying things like i've never seen anything like the history of 52 years, et cetera. so he's going to continue to be very careful. he's not going to want to say much because this is real dangerous territory for him. >> okay dan abrams thanks very much. let's go to ginger right now and, boy, ginger, look at that lightning. >> the lightning in new mexico amazing statistics coming out of the southwest and from storms and the rain over the last 24 hours. there was one place in nevada that had a quarter of an inch of rain in just three minutes. can you imagine that if you felt like you've had a very wet june or summer so far, you're probably right in a lot of places even in parts of southern california right in the southwest and, of course we know parts of the midwest and those pockets in oklahom jacqui: good morning washington. finally, a dry d on tap, but it will be a hot one. moststly sny skies wh high temperatures in the lower 90's

8:17 am
is right now very concentrated in specific industries especially technology. another drawback it's also very heavily concentrated in sort of big cities on the east and west coast but i think that in time that is going to change and the more that we're talking about it that's going to change and i would say, you know what get your kids to download it for you on your phone and give it a try. sometimes we're so intimidated by technology >> that's the point. >> it's actually designed to be pretty easy to >> yeah, why not. >> very easy to use. >> thank you, tory. one last cover letter. >> thank you so much tory. stick with us here. we'll talk about "gma's" modern romance and "the bachelorette" last night's episode saw breakups and a dramatic showdown. we'll break it down with our friend jen weiner in a moment. the tale of two breakups. kaitlyn making hard choices surprisingly sending one hopeful contender home even before the
