behind it. >> very bright light. >> that's it. could be. >> as bright as it can be. more on that later. we have two big stories out of washington. that health care showdown. setback for senate republicans. their latest plan defeated hours after john mccain's dramatic return to washington to kick off the debate. and president trump continues to campaign against his own attorney general unleashing more unprecedented attacks for refusing so far to fire him. we're going to talk to trump's close political adviser corey lewandowski on air force one with the president last night. first we'll talk to mary bruce on capitol hill with all the latest on health care. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. the health care fight is now playing out right here on the senate floor. senators are in the thick of this debate, but deep divisions remain and this morning, they still don't have a solution that has the votes to pass. overnight at a campaign rally in ohio, the president tried to rally republicans to repeal and replace obamacare. >> for seven years,

republican running for office promised to repeal and replace this disastrous law. now, they must keep their promise. >> reporter: as republicans work to fulfill that promise, the president with a warning. >> any senator who votes against repeal and replace is telling america that they are fine with the obamacare nightmare. >> reporter: but this morning they still haven't come up with a health care bill that has the support to pass. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> reporter: overnight another setback. the latest bill to repeal and replace obamacare failing on the floor. the plan republicans spent weeks crafting dead just hours after they voted to open debate. with health care reform on the line, john mccain tuesday made a dramatic return to capitol hill. less than a week after being diagnosed with brain cancer, he received a bipartisan

and a thunderous standing ovation and then delivered a stunning wake-up call to his colleagues. >> let's trust each other. let's return to regular order. we are getting nothing done, my friends. we're getting nothing done. >> reporter: republicans aren't giving up this health care fight but its future is now unclear. and this is now a free-wheeling process that could go on for days. senators are debating and voting on various amendmentabilities as they try to cobble together a consensus here and rewrite obamacare. the options come up with some way to repeal and replace, just repeal or aim for something that's even more narrow, but, robin, this morning, none of the above has enough support to pass. >> it does seem that way, mary, thank you. to the fallout between president trump and his attorney general jeff sessions, the president leaving open the responsibility he will fire him. our chief white house correspondent jon karl is in washington with all those details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president has made it clear he is so disappointed

attorney general, that firing him remains on the table, although this morning, jeff sessions is showing absolutely no signs of stepping down. after days of unprecedented attacks on his own attorney general, the president dismissed criticism at the rally in ohio that he's been off message and unpresidential. >> sometimes they say he doesn't act presidential. and i say, hey, look, great schools, smart guy, it's so easy to act presidential, but that's not going to get it done. with the exception of the late, great abraham lincoln, i can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office. >> reporter: but just hours earlier the president was publicly seething over attorney general jeff sessions and his decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation. >> if he was going to

himself, he should have told me prior to taking office, and i would have quite simply picked somebody else. >> reporter: the president accused sessions of hurting the institution of the presidency and refused to rule out firing him. >> we will see what happens. time will tell. time will tell. >> reporter: the president's attacks have not set well with sessions' former colleagues in congress. >> i think he made the right decision to recuse himself from the russia matter. >> jeff has been very loyal to the president and i think he deserves it back. >> reporter: abc news has learned that top trump ally newt gingrich made a personal intervention with the president on tuesday to try to smooth things over. gingrich late yesterday said that sessions was one of the president's most loyal supporters, again, reiterating that firing him would be a mistake but warned this story is not yet finished. >> also not finished, the russian investigation. jared kushner has now been up

that meeting with the russian lawyer last year but where do things stand with the president's former campaign manager paul manafort and the president's son, junior, don junior? >> reporter: manafort was quietly on the hill in closed sessions yesterday meeting with the senate intelligence committee. both men, both he and don junior have agreed to cooperate with congressional investigators. we expect to see don junior on the hill sometime in the coming week, robin. >> all right, jon, thank you. let's talk to corey lewandowski, he was president trump's campaign manager, close political adviser, now corey, thanks for joining us this morning. you heard newt gingrich and jon talking about him. senator sessions was the first senator to endorse donald trump. he's been one of his most loyal steadfast supporters. why is the president hu mill yachting him like this? >> well, george, i don't think he's humiliating jeff sessions and as you know, when donald trump went down to mobile, alabama, and put 45,000 people in a football stadium

of 2015, i think jeff saw the movement and decided to endorse then candidate trump and now president trump and it was a smart decision for jeff sessions. >> hold on a second. corey. you're really changing your tune. all through the campaign you talked about what a stand-up guy jeff sessions was for coming out when no one else would and endorsing donald trump at that time. in the last week president trump has called sessions weak, he's called him beleaguered and said he was unfair to the presidency and even demeaned that endorsement to "the wall street journal" carrying out a public campaign his own attorney general. why is he doing that? >> well, the president has been very clear about this, george, what he said was if he would have known that jeff sessions was going to recuse himself from the russia investigation then he would have looked at having an attorney general who was not going to recuse himself because the question was, why wasn't that information known ahead of time? it's clearly the president's prerogative to decide on who serves as the attorney general of the united states with advice and consent of the senate clearly but this is

important. the question remains, what does robert mueller continue to investigate? is he investigating some alleged tie between the trump campaign and the russian government? because if that's the case, no agency, whether it is the republicans or democrats in the house or the senate have come up with any evidence whatsoever -- >> you made the connection between this and robert mueller and that is fueling a lot of suspicion among a lot of people. they believe the president wants to have an attorney general there who will be in charge of the russia investigation, who will be in charge of robert mueller. who will have the ability to fire robert mueller. is that the president's motivation here. >> if the president wants to fire robert mueller, by all accounts he has the legal authority to do so and could have done that on day one. he could have done it today. >> corey, that's not true. right now it is the acting attorney general rod rosenstein who has that authority. >> you're wrong. the president has a legal authority to fire robert mueller if he wants to. now, robert mueller reports to rod rosenstein. but rod rosenstein could also be terminated. look, the constitution is very clear. the president is t

chief executive officer and has the ability to hire and fire executives who work for him and that would be the case with either rod rosenstein if he chose to and he's not doing that or robert mueller. and it's clear the president has the ability to do. robert mueller reports to rod rosenstein because jeff sessions recused himself. >> if the president is unhappy with the attorney general and he's been saying that day after day after day after day, why doesn't he dit down with him man-to-man, face-to-face and have it out? >> look, i think the president is going to have that conversation with senator sessions and to jeff's credit there's things he's been doing particularly with the justice department cracking down on ms-13 preventing additional border crossing and enforcing the laws that's important to the president and i know the president is thankful for the work jeff has done in that regard. >> you say he'll sit down and talk with him. he began the campaign what is week in "the new york times." wednesday, we're now a week from that and the president has not spoken with him yet he continues to attack him every

when he fired to you to his credit and your credit, you sat down with him, it was fa face-to-face, he did it. >> i don't think anybody said the president is going to or not going to fire jeff sessions. what the president has said, look, let's wait and see and at some point if the president decides to make a decision, it's going to be a decision that is thought out, it has been thought through and there will be a plan in place if that's the way the president wants to go. as of right now like most other things, the speculation and conjecture about what the president is going to do and jeff sessions remains the attorney general. >> it's the president who is fueling that speculation and conjecture and isn't this the situation the worst of both worlds for the president? he's got sessions still in the job and the president looks weak because his own cabinet members defying him by staying in that job despite what the president is saying. >> oh, i don't think the president looks weak at all. if anything, the president looks stronger than any previous admission we've seen. the difference is if you go back and look at previous administrations, you know, what you've seen is attorneys gener

who have been held in contempt of congress, that have basically just disregarded that contempt. when congress has asked the former attorneys general to prosecute people or hold them in contempt they've completely dismissed it. the difference here is donald trump is letting jeff sessions do his job and letting robert mueller do his job. that's what the president is supposed to do. >> i guess he's letting jeff sessions do his job while attacking him every single day. i'm afraid that's all we have time for, corey, but thanks for joining us. >> you bring up an excellent point and one that many have. why not face-to-face instead of online have a meeting face-to-face. >> look him in the eye. >> and either way work it out that way. we turn to severe weather. flash flooding across the country. rescues in the southwest overnight. more rain coming for the already soaked midwest. ginger, you know, is following it all for us. good morning. >> good morning. imagine being in las vegas, nevada and driving up to this. the signs in the road are just rushing down with that water. you had more than half an inch fall in 15

in parts of northern arizona you saw human chains forming again trying to save some of those folks that have made their way into those waters. those huge waves rushing over them. now we're talking about flash flood potential for the area already hard hit. slow-moving storms moving through and flash flood watches through iowa and northern missouri. this area has had more than three times their july average already and more to come. robin. >> all right, beginner, thanks so much. now we'll go to a troubling new study about the risk of brain injury in football. researchers have found among the brains of 111 former nfl players donated to science, nearly all show signs of a brain disease known as cte and paula faris is here with the details. it shows it's not just professional athletes at risk. >> you mentioned although one of the former nfl players had chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte but high school players showed signs of the disease as

players. this morning, an unprecedented new study raising red flags suggesting cte could be more common in football than once believed. the numbers are staggering. the american medical association studied the brains of 202 deceased football players from all levels who signed signs of cte when they were alive, 87% had the disease and among former nfl players, all but one had the disease. >> essentially it says it's a problem for pro football. it's a problem at all levels, high school and above and we need to now look for ways to detect it in living people and most importantly to treat it in living people. >> reporter: this new research coming just seven months after the nfl finalized a nearly $1 billion class action lawsuit by former players who claim they suffered traumatic brain injuries during their careers. the roster of deceased players who suffered from cte including frank gifford.

>> reporter: and dave duerson and junior seau who both committed suicide. they're tackling the situation on and off the field, they say by supporting scientific research and advancing progress in the prevention and treatment of head injuries. roomer good dell talked to robin last year. >> we've had 40 different rule changes all designed on making the game safer and invested in equipment changes. we're seeing safety changes to the turf which i think will help on impacts including head impactsen 0 the turf. >> now, we have to mention this study only looked at players exhibiting signs of cte while they were alive. that is a substantial caveat but just this week nfl player david briton retired saying i'd like to have my brain functioning when i'm older. we talked about it for so many professional players. they accept the data and risk and continue

them imagining a life without football is not a life at all. >> is this the thing you talked about a lot. >> you don't talk about it and i'm pretty sure if there was something that could show you if you had it while you were living, i don't know how many would actually take it. >> wow, interesting. >> almost -- don't know, keep on going. >> you wouldn't want to know. >> i wouldn't want to know. but if i don't know your names when i show up here one day, then you know. >> that's a test. >> that's the test. >> so, amy has the morning's other top stories including new concerns about north korea. >> north korea may be closer to developing a nuclear missile that can reach the united states. "the washington post" is reporting a pentagon assessment has determined the north koreans are making surprising progress and there is a possibility that kim jong-un could have an intercontinental nuclear missile by as early as next year. new tensions after a navy ship fired warning shots at this iranian patrol

2004 and sat with her and she approved. this is not the one you're seeing now. that was one from before. but we don't know how much input she had on this latest one but people argue, absolutely. there's no way you can think that is beyonce. >> i'm going to hook you up. i have some extra wax at home. >> you kept some wax? >> yeah. you didn't like mine. wait till you see what i do with yours. >> do we still have it up there. >> look. this is the one -- >> that actually -- >> the suit is too tight. the teeth are too perfect. >> the only thing they get right is the gap to the teeth. >> they never net that wrong. thank you for what you said earlier. that's so true. >> this is for a lot of different reasons people are outraged. >> in the african-american community we have this discussion and have to check ourselves. the new survey about for tell being at an all-time low. at what age do your chances plummet. ryan gosling and harrison ford and what they are

>> are you afraid -- >> absolutely. >> what are you afraid of. >> absolutely. >> what are you scared of? >> you know, i've been told not to talk about it because once they know when they see this and they know that's what they'll go after. so i am, you know, petrified. >> and miller goes even further saying if it's as bad as she imagines she probably won't survive. now, it seems her biggest fear is being ganged up on but, of course, she's hoping the reality won't be as scary. she's now two weeks down about 50 more to go. >> diane, thank you. to you to that "gma" health alert about fertility. the cdc revealing it's at an all-time low and a new survey exclusively to "gma" may help shed light on some of the reasons why. our senior medical contributor dr. jen ashton is here with more on this. all-time low. age is a major factor. what is it revealing. >> done by health line called the state of fertility and

belief, mostly among millennials following a cdc report showing for women under the age of 30 the for silt rate is going down. for women over 30 in their 30s and 40s it's going up. and, you know, really the findings of the survey say the attitudes and just overall educational level of people about where their fertility is and where it can be in the future at that magic age of 35 for a woman is like the line in the sand not so good. >> other reason joost. >> it's a complex issue. i think there are medical reasons. there are social reasons. financial reason, according to the survey the top two reasons for delaying parenthood amongst millennial, financial security, it costs a lot of money and career aspirations. these are very much up front. >> okay, so explain what's going on in the woman's body. >> all right, so fun fertility facts and demonstrate with --

>> ping-pong balls. i would very much like to show eggs but it's morning tv. this represents the number of eggs that a female fetus has in utero, 6 to 7 million eggs when still in utero at the time of birth that number drops to about 1 million eggs. when she hits puberty these are 11, 12, 13-year-old girls she's left with about 300,000 eggs and over the course of her reproductive lifetime she only releases about 300. when she gets to her 30s and 40s, not just the number but the quality represented by these black ping-pong balls. it only takes one egg to make a baby but it is very clear your peak fertility is in your late teens and early 20s and from there it drops. >> quite dramatic when you see it that way. >> the numbers are dramatic. >> a lot of women here, a lot of women watching saying, okay, if we're over 35, under 35, what do we do. >> this is the take home message and i'm excited about this. i think this is a discussion women should

ob/gyn in their 20s about their options, awareness and education. not everyone chooses to be a parent which is totally fine but you want to know the facts and what is on your horizon so i think for women that is key and that dialogue should start immediately. sooner rather than later because that is only going to be helpful. we have to remember it's not just women, recent studies about male fertility, their rates globally are dropping and so it takes two. this is a very important awareness. >> certainly does take two. [ laughter ] let's go outside to ginger. >> oh, robin, thank you very much. you know what, it is time for your "gma" moment. one of the best crowds outside we've had in a while. beautiful morning here in new york city and you have to see this. this little sea lion pup is named ron. i love his name. brand-new at the new england aquarium. ron making his way around there came from his mother that they

supermarket ambush. ♪ >> reporter: location, costco, north brunswick, new jersey. mission, challenge shoppers on some of their big box store options. operative, maya feller, our dietitian in the aisle. >> when you make healthy choices anywhere, it's really about going in with the intention and you know what, i'm looking for vitamins and mineral, not a specific food. >> reporter: to try this out we approached a few shoppers. to see if they'd let us peek into their shopping carts for some nutrition tips. >> this is only 20% juice. >> reporter: maya targets two things specifically. sugar. >> you don't want all the extra sugar that's in this juice. >> reporter: and sodium like with these canned beans. the one area i always urge people to look at is the sodium because the content can be really high and the tip to combat that is rinse it twice and it will cut 40% of the sodium. rinse it twice. it's absolutely fantastic.

>> reporter: when we find ida she's game to get info from our dietitian in the aisle and watch for items with high sodium and high sugars. >> mesquite wings. >> you know what, sometimes i say with these prepared items you can probably buy the chicken wings plain and then add your own seasoning to it. >> reporter: christine in for the same treatment really trying with this case of fruit drinks but -- >> this one has 6% juice. this one 3%. this contains 1% juice. i would say if you're looking for water or something that is flavored infuse it yourself. you can add fruit, you can add lemon. you can add watermelon and get great hydration. >> reporter: since they both made healthy swaps, we want to pay for your groceries. >> my god. >> that's awesome. thank you. >> nutritionist maya feller and christine arce. your family is here with you. >> yes, they are.

grocery cart full of groceries we paid for. if i had known that i would have wasn't in there. my question is we brought three things that you had in your cart and maya is going to help us do healthy swaps. what was the thing you learned most from this whole thing? >> you know what, what i learned most nutrition is something that i have to take another look at. i thought that it was eating very healthy but i realized there are improvements and nutrition is both spiritual and physical. even in a spiritual life we have to be nutritiously healthy like physically put the right things in our body as well. so that's the basically what i had learned from it. i need to make a little more improvement as far as nutritionwise >> that's why my dwra is here. you'll help us. i'm looking at the three things we brought that were in christine's cart and i must say i have had all of these things so we're going to start right now with prepackaged ramen noodles. you say, okay, that's okay

>> one thing i want to say about prepackaged goods they're prepackaged and really, really fast. there's always an alternative. she's prepackaged ramen noodles may take three minutes to cook however they're really not healthy. they're filled with additive, fillers, sodium, there's more than you actually bargained for and so what i say is take that additional five to seven minutes and you can actually make something that is a little bit health ye meng yuan. all right. so what we have here is -- >> turn that around. >> we have soba noodles with vegetables and low sodium chicken broth. it's essential the same thing as ramen, just a little faster and a little healthier. >> not so much sodium. >> exactly. >> great idea. >> next we move over to the mini taco. >> oh, my goodness. right, everyone loves a mini taco. >> i love a mini taco. >> and that's okay. it's not actually terrible. the thing about the mini track

a third of your daily value for sodium. you know, i always hone in on sodium because that's something that we really have an issue with in this country, right? it can promote hypertension and i want to make sure that people are staying healthy and so i'm going to say in place of the mini taco, use corn taco, a little bit of shredded chicken, garlic, onion and squeeze some lime on it. >> put some lime on it. >> now we're talking. >> so i can come back and try it. now we have some prepackaged sausage. >> okay. >> my favorite. >> so people love sausage, right? it's spicy, salty. it's sweet, it can be all those things in one. however, the world health organization really lets us know that red meat, deli meats are not things we should be consuming on a regular basis, you know. so what i said instead i know, don't -- i feel so bad. >> she's like don't take it from

you an alternative. the alternative is a little bit of ground turkey with some pimento, garlic and onion. i mean, you know -- >> works for me. >> flavorful. all of that. >> that works for me and we have a few more seconds so what do we have here? >> so what i'm going to do is give you quick swaps. what i say is instead of the potato chip, popcorn, put that in the shopping cart for me. >> okay. >> breakfast bar, instead of the breakfast bar i'll say nuts. >> now, big one is the soda. >> oh, yeah, this is something people are doing a lot. what i actually say is go ahead and steep some tea, add sparkling water and that's your alternative to soda. >> you know what, thank you so much. maya, christine, thank you. family, thank you so much. we're going to be right back, everybody.

[ cheers and applause ] >> yes? now, is one of the most popular shows of all time and article in "the new york post" that talks about, how quiet should you be during "game of thrones"? it seems like a lot of people are upset and at odds with it. >> this was a huge debate. >> just about "game of thrones"? >> well, because it's a lot of dialogue. >> i think we can broaden it if you're -- i think any show that requires a lot -- paying attention. >> "game of thrones" requires a notepad and a lot of paying attention. you got to write down -- >> periodic questions. >> who owns the dragon babies and all kinds of stuff. is it okay to talk during a tv show? >> it

on the show. >> what kind of show is it -- >> "dancing with the stars." >> yes. >> "the bachelor." >> oh, gosh. the bachelorette." >> you miss all the dialogue. >> the crown, i have to focus. historical. i'm getting into it so i might not like as much chatter as i would on, say, the bachelor, bachelorette. >> ali gets mad when i yell back at the tv. >> what do you yell back? >> "house of cards." >> you're yelling at "house of cards"? >> yeah. >> do you think they're going to say something back? >> she does. >> what about you? >> well, you know what, no, i don't like talking when i'm watching. like i like to watch and then there's nothing more bothersome than when you're watching a program and my brother did this, probably the last argument we had watching a recap of the super bowl 2007 and he's talking to me and like, fool

there. don't talk to me. let me watch this thing and i love my brother but -- >> you do. >> hangout time at home, we're always chatting during the show. >> it's sort of a social event. a lot of people weighed in. >> they did. >> on this. amy, my producer found a very funny system that hillary swanson has incorporated with her friends. my viewing partners and i have employed a system of time utes. if someone has something to say during "game of thrones," you raise your hand, you say i'd like to use one of my time-outs. we pause the show and listen to whatever you have to say, each viewer only gets two time-outs per episode. >> that's a lot of work. >> a lot of work. [ applause ] >> then we had some -- we had a few tweets about it, as well and shawn keith said sometimes my wife will talk while i'm watching wrestling but what am i really missing? so that doesn't bother him and emma said my mom gets so annoyed

the base many. so there we go. there's our debate. >> we'll put a guy's face up on the screen right now and i want y'all to memorize it. do we have it? >> where is it? >> there he is right there. memorize that face. if you see him at the airport. he's going to give you a first class ticket. his name is -- he's a blogger. a travel blogger. his name is gilbert ott and called the catch me if you can challenge at jfk airport so this is going nuts online. how did you come up with the idea and what happened when it all got started to get picked up? >> well, all i can say is be careful what you wish for. i started the contest to try to, you know, drum up a little bit of interest in my new website and maybe amuse a few people and now i'm on "good morning america," so i think it's going to be very hard to hide at the airport for the rest of the year. >> so will you explain to us how it works. you're a travel blogger. how does it work if someo

spots you? do you give them your seat? >> yeah, so basically the idea is that if you find me in an airport, you know, like in the check-in lane, security lane, walking around, grabbing some food and you happen to be on my flight, i will gladly switch sese seats with you. >> they have to be on your flight. >> i just can't run around -- but, yeah, if they're on my flight, yeah. >> but, gilbert, what if you're on the flight and already in your seat do you swap then or does it have to be before you get on the plane? >> ideally before i get on the plane would be pretty disheartening to set into one of the nice seats and have to turn around but if someone is that motivated, i suppose i would switch with them, yeah. >> gilbert, how did you come up with the idea in the first place? >> so, i'm kind of a big richard branson fan and i'd heard that

actually switches seats with people in economy and i thought that was kind of a fun idea and thought if one of these eccentric billionaires that i -- i'm nobody, 30-year-old blogger can definitely do that so i thought it would be an amusing idea and here we are. >> so you're on a 20-hour flight to singapore. [ applause ] >> yep. >> 20-hour flight to singapore with the beautiful first class bed. you're going to give it up? >> oh, yeah. >> wow. >> if someone finds me i'll happily give it up. happily might be an overstatement but -- >> as you said you're a travel blogger, travel guru, a lot of people visiting here. what's your number one travel tip? >> well, so i think one thing that people really overlook is that they focus just on the economy section. occasionally especially in the u.s. business class or first class is sold either at the same price or fractionally above on

checked bags and seat assignments and these other things it can work out cheaper and is a pretty nice experience. don't be afraid to glance into that column. sometimes it works out in your favor. >> great advice. >> thank you, gilbert ott. [ applause ] >> only thing is, he may never fly first class again ever for the rest of his life but that's a very nice young man. >> giving up his seat like that. everybody, coming up harrison ford and ryan gosling on the new blade runner movie, the sequel after three decades in the making.
