7:02 am
finding out who will bring home that mirror ball trophy. lara and michael went behind the scenes and lara is up early joining us live from the ballroom. good morning, lara. >> hey, robin, hey, george. as you guys just saw, ginger and val nailed it. but as she told me right after the show, so did the other two finalists, her game plan, rehearsing through the night for her one last chance to wow those judges. i'll have more on all of it coming up. >> that sounds like ginger, doesn't it. >> so sounds like ginger. thank you, lara. first to that breaking news, an egyptian forensic official says remains recovered from egyptair 804 could indicate an explosion on board. abc's matt gutman is in cairo with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. if this is true, this could be a stunning revelation because it raises a key question, was this terrorism or perhaps mechanical error? this as egyptian officials are
7:03 am
dismissing reports from greek radar officials saying that the plane swerved in midair then descended. the egyptians are saying it simply disappeared from radar. this morning, for the first time egyptian officials saying their examination of human remains found at the crash site points to an explosion on board the plane. the associated press quoting an anonymous member of the egyptian investigative team grimly saying none of the body parts were intact and that the logical explanation is that it was an explosion. debris recovered from the crash site shows that white purse, what appear to be toothmarks could be the telltale slashes of shrapnel. and this seat cushion which looks to have been sliced apart by a sharp object. this as egyptian officials slammed greek reports monday that the plane swerved and lost altitude before it came down telling abc news that the plane was flying normally, prosecutors also requesting data from french and greek authorities about the flight before it entered eye
7:04 am
jinx airspace. and as dna testing to identify the human remains begins, the public gathered in cairo for a memorial service for all of the 66 victims. now, one of those memorials served as the aviation minister told me we simply will not know what happened to the plane until the black boxes are retrieved and could take some time. there is only a sickle ship searching for them. >> okay, matt, thanks very much. a reality check from our aviation contributor steve ganyard. you don't necessarily read it the same way. >> i don't, george. i would actually suggest that what he's drawing his conclusions on would suggest the opposite and that is a high-speed water impact. these kinds of forensics require real professionals and it's a very specialized discipline and so, again, we need to be very careful about what we're hearing from anybody. we need to stick to the facts. >> you've been consistent on that from the start and skeptical early reports that the
7:05 am
plane might have swerved and done a 360-degree turn and now you have this egyptian official saying that didn't happen. >> this goes back and forth about who to believe. show me the data. we have to see the data. right now we have two things, one that said we had seven error messages two of which had smoke in the airplane, the other was the airplane was straight and level at 37,000 feet. those are the only data points we have. everything else is speculation at this point. >> on the big question was a mechanical failure or act of terror, no closer to a conclusion? >> not a step closer. >> steve ganyard, thanks very much. >> remains a mystery. now to that severe weather from texas to iowa, millions caught in the path of tornadoes, hail, flash floods and now more are at risk as another round of storms head toward the plains. rob is here with the latest on that. >> good morning, four states seeing tornadoes yesterday. even one state with straight line winds to 82 miles an hour. leftover storms across kansas.

7:08 am
>> you know they're dirty players. they've been dirty players historically and i have to fight back the way i have to fight back. >> reporter: trump posting this video on instagram. >> i was very nervous. >> reporter: that's the voice of monica lewinsky, the image, bill clinton smoking a cigar and other women who've accused the former president of sexual misconduct in discredited or unsubstance yachted cases including juanita broad rick then cuts to hillary laughing. the clinton campaign says the allegations are from two decades ago and trump's play, a bad strategy. >> the last thing we need is a bully in the pulpit. >> reporter: and this morning, clinton fighting back with this video saying trump was rooting for the 2008 recession years before it happened. >> if there is a bubble burst as they call it, you know, you can make a lot of money. >> reporter: clinton now trying to prove to voters that trump in her words is a disaster waiting to happen.
7:09 am
>> he could bankrupt america like he's bankrupted his companies. >> reporter: the gop takedown turning into a family affair. bill clinton questioning trump's wealth. >> her opponent who never tires of telling us how much richer he is than the rest of us won't release his tax returns. >> reporter: but hillary still fighting a war on two fronts. overnight, senator bernie sanders blasting her for declining to debate ahead of the all-important california primary and saying the race is far from over. >> we're going to win here in california. [ cheers and applause ] we're going to go marching to the democratic convention with a hell of a lot of momentum. >> reporter: "the washington post" reporting trump is willing to discuss some conspiracy theories that involve the clintons including the death of their friend and white house aide vince foster. trump calling his suicide very fishy, kenneth starr, the independent counsel who looked into it confirmed what others found, foster's death was a
7:10 am
suicide. george. >> tom, let's talk about this with cokie roberts and matthew dowd. donald trump going into the playbook of the 1990s right there going back to so many of these issues discussed right then, the question is what kind of ref advanrelevance will it h >> a lot don't remember these things because they weren't born but this election will come down to how white women vote and i think that the fact is that women will be very upset if they think that another woman is being blamed for her husband's infidelities. >> you agree with that, matt? >> no, i actually think -- i mean one of the things about donald trump, george, we've talked about, he was smarter where voters were among 16, 17 candidates in the primary. i think he has a very good tact on where they are today. first of all i think the argument reminds voters she's of the past and for voters under 40 they have no idea about this so it basically places her in the past.
7:11 am
two, gop voters want to litigate this issue so helps him consolidate the base very quickly which he's done in the course of this and this argument and, three, it is a -- it's an -- underlines his trust issue, one of the main arguments against her. in the short term i think it's a good play for donald trump. >> go ahead, cokie. >> well, but i think he's really consolidated his base and i think the republicans have come together behind him despite all of their angst this the earlier days and now he's going to have to shore up those independent voters and he is coming across as a bully. and the smart thing for her to do is just not engage on this. >> matt, the clinton campaign making it pretty clear that secretary clinton is not going to engage on these allegations but fighting back on donald trump's record in business. he's going to bankrupt america like he bankrupted his businesses. is that an effective attack? >> well, i think ultimately this election will be decided upon the economy, george and i think the only way she's going to be able to beat donald trump is
7:12 am
she's got to figure out how to knock down his business acumen. if it's between a businessman and a politician which hillary clinton is he's going to win unless she underlines it so i think in the end that's the main argument she has to make is try to knock down his business acumen. >> cokie, i see you nodding your head. >> i agree with that completely and show ads like obama did against mitt romney of white people being put out of work, of saying he's not for you. >> cokie roberts, matt dowd, thanks very much. bernie sanders will be live on "the view" at 11:00 eastern on abc. right back to robin. a major shake-up at the tsa after that fallout from long security lines at airports. passengers waiting for hours missing flights. now the agency's head of security is out. abc's david kerley is at reagan national airport with all those details. good morning, david. >> reporter: 12k3w50rgood morni. under pressure, airlines complaining about lost revenue and a member of congress calling
7:13 am
for his head the tsa administrator has removed his top security director. waits measuring in hours helped lead to the removal of the tsa head of security, kelly hoggan and not just the lines. >> we missed our flight and told there's nothing they can do. >> reporter: but also last year's 95% test failure rate. banned substances getting through and even with those failures hoggan was given a bonus, $90,000 doled out in $10,000 increments. >> those bonuses were given to somebody who oversees a part of the operation that was in total failure. >> reporter: despite the criticism the cloud of controversy a week and a half ago the head of tsa was still supporting hoggan. >> i do not currently have a plan to remove mr. hoggan. >> reporter: that changed with these continuing tsa lines. word of the action tweeted out by that congressional committee, but will the removal of the head of security mean relief for the lines that have left flyers missing flights sleeping on cots
7:14 am
or lines snaking through the atlanta terminal? there are still more of us flying and no additional tsa officers. the math that adds up to a summer of misery. now, the tsa administrator also announced he is creating a tsa command center, the idea is that they'll be able to deploy officers and canines to airports that are going to see heavy volume in a specific day. and that administrator is back on the hill, george, on thursday, wednesday, rather, he'll get another grilling. >> all ahead of a big weekend. thanks very much. the latest on bill cosby in court this morning where he could come face-to-face with one of his accusers for the first time in years. abc's linsey davis is outside the courthouse in philadelphia. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a hearing that bill cosby's attorneys had hoped to either avoid or delay. but here we are and now the burden is on the prosecution to establish reasonable cause to believe that a crime was committed. if successful, bill cosby will be headed to trial.

7:16 am
husband brought by several women accusing him of assaulting them. the document obtained by abc news shows camille cosby refused to answer questions she deemed personal and off limits saying, quote, that's communication between my husband and me ands that is it. but attorneys continued pressing her with questions like, can we agree that throughout your marriage that your husband betrayed the sanctity of your marital home? and would you agree that throughout your marriage, mr. cosby used his position, power to manipulate young women? mrs. cosby was instructed by her lawyer do not answer. if there is a trial and if bill cosby is found guilty he faces up to ten years in prison. he has pleaded not guilty and his legal team has repeatedly denied all the sexual allegations against him. george. >> okay, linsey, thanks very much. to amy for today's other top stories starting with president obama in vietnam. >> the president is calling on vietnam's government to improve its record on human rights addressing a crowd of thousands in hanoi today. the president said countries

8:18 am
appeared in good peer review journals but, again, we say it here because it is so important, those studies were based on association, not cause and effect, they are incredibly different when it comes to the world of science and this concept that your body needs to eat as soon as you're vertical because it's in a fast, that is a complete myth. >> became gospel. >> absolutely. >> you have to have your breakfast but there are some people, when it talks about energy and that's why we eat to give ourselves energy and it seems like some people crave some food in the morning and others don't really want to eat. >> im00 one of them in terms of my personal preference. i like to eat within five seconds of being vertical but from a medical and nutritional standpoint we have to understand the body doesn't really enter a fasting mode until you've been without food for like 36 or more hours, your liver is always supplying glucose into your bloodstream so this is an individual preference. this is not one side fits all. it's what works for you. >> what do you tell your patients. >> if you're going to make bad choices because you're ravenous
8:19 am
then eat breakfast but should be smart, simple, sustainable. my go to which we have here, one of these three thing, eggs on toast, greek yogurt with chia seeds or frozen mango smoothie with green tea. >> i'm glad we're setting the record straight. we got to do that more and more. jen will take your questions on twitter and on facebook. amy. >> for the record, robin, i never miss breakfast. all right. now to our series what your kids don't want you to know and this morning we are taking on a danger you may not realize exists, your kids can be at risk playing video games in your own home. t.j. holmes is back on the beat, important information, t.j. >> yeah, good morning, robach. i don't want to scare parent s but you need to hear this. even in your own home your child is by himself playing a video game. you still have to be worried because they're not really in there alone.

8:24 am
mom, it's a nice woman who is helping us prevent bullying. you have though think of that person as a scary monster because they could be anybody, anything. what rules should you put in place for your children? >> very simple rules that mom.me readers have followed. number one, keep personal information personal. don't reveal your name, no photos, no phone numbers. >> where you live. >> where you live. either parents information. number two, online friends should be real-life friends, you never know. that person could say i'm a 12-year-old in a town next door to you but could be a grown person trying to find out more about them. and lastly, you know, don't go into chat rooms or spark up conversations with strangers. that's a huge no-no. >> right, i mean, it is so hard because they're so easily influenced and, yet, t.j., i know if you want to keep your kids offline. it's impossible. they need to be online for school most of the time. >> areas where kids are at a disadvantage because they don't have connectivity or these guises that some other areas have but like this mother you
