7:03 am
brink of nuclear war. >> nobody is safe. i mean, who is safe? the guy's got nuclear weapons. if he gets the long-range missiles we're not safe either. so, we have to do something about it and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: but despite that warning the president has not ruled out a face-to-face meeting with the brutal north korean dictator going so far as to say it would be an honor if it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, president trump told bloomberg, i would absolutely. i would be honored to do it abc's jon karl pressing the white house on those comments. >> this is somebody who has starved his own people, somebody that has threatened to destroy the united states. how could he be honored to meet with kim jong-un? >> well, the president understands the threat that north korea poses and he will do whatever is necessary under the right circumstances to protect our country from the threat that they pose. he's still the head of state. so it is sort of -- there is a dimmick piece to this. >> reporter: but the president's
7:04 am
evidence that north korea may be stepping up its submarine based missile testing and has warned it will increase the speed of its nuclear tests to a maximum pace. the north koreans still have not yet conducted that sixth nuclear test but it could happen at any time. meanwhile, president trump will talk by phone with russia's vladimir putin today. their third conversation as we said since president trump took office. george. >> okay, martha, thanks very much. the latest on president trump's push to repeal obamacare. white house is optimistic but republicans in the house not yet ready to call a vote. the big stumbling block, coverage for pre-existing conditions and at what cost. our congressional correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill and, pear, the president is confusing comments on this issue, have complicated the vote count. >> reporter: yeah, george, good morning. house republicans have never been closing to repealing and replacing obamacare but now the president is sending some mixed messages. he insists the current house gop bill will protect people with
7:05 am
pre-existing conditions. it's one of the few obamacare provisions he's promised to keep, but the current house bill, it's not clear if it would actually keep that promise from the president. in order to gain the support of ultra conservative, republicans made changes that could undermine protections for people with these conditions. the american medical association now saying the plan could effectively make coverage completely unaffordable to people with pre-existing conditions. >> and, mary, the house republicans, the speaker says he won't call a vote until he's sure he has the votes and they're right on the bubble. >> reporter: the white house suggests they're almost there but there is still no vote scheduled here and house republican leaders unlike last time say they will not call for a vote until they're sure they have the support to get this done. this is likely to be close. really close. by our latest count at least 20 republicans say they oppose the current plan. that means just two more no votes could sink the bill and even if it does pass here in the house it still faces a huge uphill battle over in the senate. george, this fight
7:06 am
over. >> long road to go. mary bruce, thanks very much. >> all right, george, now to the white house appearing to target both the former administration and big banks. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega joins us now and cecilia, let's start with the trump administration takes steps to roll back michelle obama's healthy food initiative for kids. >> reporter: yeah, this is coming from the new agriculture secretary, sonny perdue. he says students essentially aren't eating the food. they don't like it. cafeterias in schools have complainted it so, hence, these changes. they would relax whole grain requirements. they allow 1% fat flavored milk back foo school cafeterias and then they relax the sodium limits meaning that the limbs stay where they are. they don't go down over time as they would have under michelle obama's plan. these rules take effect in the next school year, sonny perdue says this isn't essentially about rolling back michelle obama's plan, robin. they say this is about slowing that process down. >> and, cecilia, another policy
7:07 am
president trump saying he wants to break up the big banks. >> reporter: he did. he told this to bloomberg news. he says this is something that he is looking into right now. now, this shouldn't come as a big surprise here. this is something that the president talked a lot about on the campaign trail. nonetheless, the reaction from wall street yesterday was swift. right after the president made these comments, stocks took a dive but, robin, they did quickly bounce back after these comments. >> they are back. all right, cecilia, thank you. >> the president says he's looking to a gas tax as well. turning to may day protests that turned violent at home and around the world. police set on fire in paris and pierre thomas tracking all of it. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. those mostly peaceful protests involving thousands across the country on may day turned violent in the northwest with what police called a riot in portland, oregon. and nine officers injured in downtown olympia, washington. as many as 100 protesters clashed with police in those two

7:10 am
till god say it's over. >> reporter: it appears that day has come. slager was scheduled to be tried again in state court this summer but a plea agreement here and serious jail time could change things. we don't know to what charges he will plead. the state prosecutor still has to determine if she will move forward with her case. robin. >> okay, we'll wait and see that. steve, thank you. all right, robin, thousand to big changes that could be coming to the way you fly. top airline executives are testifying about passengers' experiences on capitol hill this morning. after that series of recent incidents and our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has more on that. good morning, rebecca. >> hey, michael, good morning. a lot of people are very interested to see what we're going to hear today. the ceo of united along with executives from other airlines set to testify on capitol hill facing urgent questions from lawmakers about what can be done to reduce tensions between airlines and passengers. just this weekend a new video

billy was born. >> and he appeared to be a normal healthy baby until about three hours after he was born and moved to the recovery room. when a very attentive nurse at cedars-sinai hospital, her name is nanoosh, was checking him out and heard a murmur in his heart which is common with newborn babies but noticed he was a bit purple, which is not common. they did an echocardiogram which is a sonogram of the heart and found that billy was born with a heart disease, something called tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia. it's hard to explain, basically the pulmonary valve was completely blocked and he has a hole in the wall between the left and right sides of his heart. we put the baby in an ambulance to children's hospital los angeles and on monday morning dr. starnes opened his chest and fixed one of the two defects

7:35 am
delivery, a controlled elective delivery so you have neonatal and surgical teams ready to go. other times like this one these findings present in the immediate postpartum poured either in the delivery room or soon thereafter with a baby who is not oxygenating well and in that case transferred to a major academic medical center with very high level pediatric surgical teams and nursing care is necessary. and we have to remember, how complex this surgery is, robin. this is the size of a newborn heart. it's the size of a walnut and you're talking about arteries and veins in a newborn that in some cases are smaller than a strand of angel hair pasta. >> so great that the nurse and i've often said about nurse, they are just so aware of what's going on and she was the one who alerted everyone. >> exactly. >> billy is home. that's great. what is the recovery time? >> it's going to vary based on what kind of defect or surgical problem the newborn faced. sometimes babies will spend day

7:40 am
stars. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. >> reporter: including bill o'reilly. >> often around this time of year i grab vacation. >> reporter: megyn kelly. greta van susteren and top boss roger ailes. now another major shake-up in the executive ranks. in an internal memo rupert murdoch announcing fox news co-president bill shine resigned. shine, one of roger ailes' top lieutenants helped build the network from day one overseeing fox's fiery talent. so close to sean hannity the host tweeted his strong support last week responding to rumors shine could be the next casualty of the network's growing sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit scandals writing, i pray this is not true because about it is, that's the total end of the knox news channel as we know it. >> those are fighting words from hannity and i would not be surprised if he negotiated his exit over the next week or show. >> reporter: but shine has been characterized as an enabler by
7:41 am
culture at fox news that allegedly includes sexism, racism and misogyny named as a defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit against fox news and roger ailes and others filed by former host andrea tantaros where she called the network a sex-fueled playboy mansion lime cult and when she complained of his advances shine told tantaros that ailes was a very powerful man and that tantaros needed to let this one go. shine denies any wrongdoing. now, fox is now facing at least six sexual harassment or discrimination lawsuits and they paid out more than $5 million reeled to sexual harassment allegations. they've now promoted a woman to the top spot, but suzanne scott is also named in at least one lawsuit. george. >> okay, mara, thanks very much. let's talk to dan abrams and rebecca jarvis and, dan, let me begin with you. you just heard mara say six lawsuits are still out there. pretty clear the murdoch family is cleanin
7:42 am
will it help them fend against these lawsuits. >> not a lot. i think that the lawsuits will still maintain that anyone who wants to sort of point the finger at bill shine will say he was still promoted after roger ailes left the network. can it help them from a sort of bigger picture? yeah, it can help them say we've taken real action here but i think when it comes to the courtroom it's not going to make that much of a difference. >> you've seen all of these big changes on air and now behind the scenes as well. the question is what is it going to mean for the fox brand and business. >> what do these people who have recently left, roger ailes, bill o'reilly and bill shine, what do they do next? do they go off and create something else. fox news has a virtual monopoly on that conservative cable space and as these individuals leave, the question becomes do they create a competitive product? >> you run the website mediaite and you guys have been reporting sean hannity could negotiate on going to another network. >> the site is reporting that there is actively
7:43 am
going on amongst conservative people with significant amounts of assets and cable networks that currently exist that they could literally take over. so we're not talking about the idea of sort of building up a network and trying to get distribution, what they're talking about is taking over one that currently exists and basically then starting within a year a competitor to fox news and in particular they feel that there can be a competitor from the right that fox is moving too far to the center and that they can have a real place and sean hannity is definitely one of the people they'd have their eye often. >> after his contract may have an out. >> it looks like a lot of individuals had a clause where if the bill shines and roger ailes of the world left they had an out in their deal. >> rebecca and dan, thanks very much. over to michael. thank you, george. coming up on our big board a major air scare. a dozen sent to the hospital after severe turbulence including a 1-year-old. we're going to find out how safe

dennis we've done 28 movies together and just before we went in there to tart doing the physical aspect of it live he said to them, you know, i know his face really well. and i can age him down a lot. i got a lot of tribs in my bag. would that be helpful to you. he said, sure, whatever you can do would be helpful and so he went to work. i went to sleep. he went to work and then we got the hair right and clothes and when you do that for an actor, you have the opportunity to look in the mirror and go, yeah, wait a minute. if i lighten my voice and pick things up a little bit and kind of -- and we looked at it and said this is going to be great. and so the scene -- the woman head of the cgi department for the screening in l.a., she said what did you think about what we did. i said i thought it was pretty great but i understand it was more of a brushup here and there. she said, yeah, he did most of it. >> wow. >> so all kudos to him. >> the younger you -- >> i made -- i violated a cardinal sin because at marvel they hold things cle

vest. i didn't know my name was ego the living planet for the three weeks and anyway, i saw this and i had to and i took a picture and i sent it to goldie and the kids and said, if you show this to anybody i'll be dead tomorrow. so, you know, you have to not do that. but look at this and so i had looked in the mirror and it gives you the opportunity to create an impression rather than an image. i think that's one of the things -- a big difference. if you create an image people have a tendency to stare at it. if you create an impression it's misdirect. get them to not look at certain places and look at other things. it gives the actor the wardrobe, the hair and the makeup a chance to work together and i think create something. >> goldie didn't leak -- >> it truly helped that you don't age so that helps. >> but, of course, there's that. >> there's that. >> you know. it's not me. >> speaking of kids, kate was here for "deepwat

>> for 14 years she concentrated on the hunt foundation for children and it's been incredibly successful. it's in the hands of almost 2 million children now. and she got involved with that and it was -- it's just serendipitous i did "fast and furious" and "guardians of the galaxy" and she did snatched and all coming out. the weirdest thing of all was that she had to go to london to start promoting it. i was there a day earlier doing this. so we were there for three days then i went back to l.a. she came straight to new york and now i've joined her here in new york so we've been dove tailing so working out pretty good. i like it. >> well, i tell you what -- >> obviously it's working. >> we love when you're here, man. >> you guys are terrific. i got to say poison, wyatt is a big fan and so am i. i get to watch you guys and we really enjoy it. >> thank you.

we love. "guardians of the galaxy volume 2" hits theaters friday. make sure you check out kurt russell. and coming up hot off the dance my name is jenny doan i'm a quilter and i'm a mother and i'm a grandmother. 2008 was when all the markets crashed, we lost our retirement. hamilton was losing hope and my husband and i were losing hope. my sister and i we challenged ourselves to help figure out a way to help them. our kids bought us a quilt machine. it was very humble beginnings. we were just this cute little shop, just like everybody else. one day al came in and asked me if i wanted to do tutorials and i was like "sure honey what's a tutorial?" i had not a clue. hi everybody i'm jenny from the missouri star quilt company.
8:38 am
ally differentiate, we got to a 1,000 subscribers year one and now we're at 300,000 subscribers. we started carrying all the fabrics that mom would use in the tutorials. now we're the world's largest provider of pre-cut quilting fabric. in the beginning we were just shipping 10 orders a day. now we ship 5,000 orders a day. opening a business in hamilton kinda sparked things. we've got 14 quilt shops in town, three restaurants, a little hotel, we had over 100,000 people come to hamilton last year. we love jenny. my whole life i've always wanted to own a business. none of that would have been possible without missouri star quilt company. all i have to do is open my door and bake my goods and missouri star does the rest. youtube has enabled my family and i to bring hope to the town and to the people who live here.

8:42 am
you and artem have a great partnership but blogged some of his dances were too risque and -- >> i did? >> and that some of your friends wouldn't let their kids watch the show. >> oh, well, i didn't think they were but some of my friends did. yeah. >> and what do your kids think of your hole dancing experience. >> i don't think they thought it. they loved it. they're really disappointed that i'm off the show now but happy that i'm coming home and so that's like bittersweet and i get to go home and that's a good thing but the show has been such a great platform for me. i didn't realize what it was giving me and allowing me the chance to speak out about things i've been through, miscarriages and eating disorders and things that i didn't realize would touch so many people and what an honor that is for me to be able to maybe help somebody else. i had no idea i was going to do that. >> your honesty definitely does help a lot of people out there, i'm sure. artem, you had ricky martin help you and your reaction to having ricky martin help you with the samba. >> it never goes away,

[ applause ] >> that's all you need at the end of the day. that's all you need. a little bit of home. >> right. >> nancy, i'm curious, to both you and nick, a question to both of you. doing this competition and just diving in, did you learn anything about yourselves? >> i think not just about myself but i've learned about everybody like we are so capable of doing more than we think we are and living outside our box and trying something new and, you know, just giving it all to something different and having a new challenge is so important, i think, to grow as a person. >> absolutely. [ applause ] >> nick, how about you? >> i would just kind of echo kind of nancy's thoughts. i mean, you know, this
8:45 am
about getting out of my comfort zone and taking big risks and knowing you can survive them and while it's, you know, it is just dancing but to be comfortable with that kind of idea is something that i think is useful in life. so -- >> this is a question for everyone. who do you hi is going home with the mirror ball trophy? >> you heard the audience went whoo. >> i'll put my money on rashad. >> rashad. you like rashad. i like thatting okay. >> rashad has a good chance. >> yeah, for sure. >> you four just put a lot of pressure on rashad. i just want you to know that. >> he can handle it. >> you know what, we're so glad you guys did this. it was so fun to watch you dance and we look forward to having you back and talking to you and just thank you all so much for joining us this morning. i know you're all very tired. go get some rest. and you at home you can see "dancing with the stars" monday night at 8:00 eastern, 7:00 central right here on abc and coming up, olympic gold medalist and soccer legend julie foudy is here live to talk to robin. therehe
