actually dance. >> i didn't know we had spies. >> george always has the inside on everything. speaking of presidential candidates, just 62 days until the election and the war of words reaching a fever pitch. both candidates painting their opponent as a danger to national security. trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway is here. george is going to speak with her live in just a moment. but first abc's jon karl is on the trail in greenville, north carolina consider trump took on hillary clinton and her e-mails overnight. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. trump went after clinton using that recently released fbi report on her e-mails to say that she is unfit for office which, of course, is exactly what hillary clinton says about donald trump. overnight in north carolina, donald trump offered a point-by-point indictment of hillary clinton. he zeroed in on the fbi report revealing how her staff destroyed the devices that she

used as secretary of state. >> they used hammers to destroy phones so they couldn't be turned over and, by the way, who uses 13 different iphones? in four years? who. the only people who use that many phones are usually involved in very, very and i mean very shady activity. >> reporter: trump called it worst than watergate prompting chance of lock her up from his supporters. >> let's do better than that. let's win on november 8th. >> reporter: the actual debates are weeks away, but the candidates are already engaged in a virtual debate. on foreign policy. >> putin looks at her and he laughs, okay. he laughs. >> he says he has a secret plan to defeat isis. but the secret is, he has to

have no plan. >> reporter: on veterans. >> his whole campaign has been one long insult to all those who have worn the uniform to protect our most cherished american values. >> hillary clinton said everything is working just fine. she doesn't know that people are standing on line for seven days to see a doctor and dying. >> reporter: but as trump hit clinton for lack of transparency. she fired back at him for telling abc news that nobody cares about his taxes. >> i just think he's dead wrong. clearly his tax returns tell a story that the american people deserve and need to know. >> reporter: but overnight trump said he would release his tax returns immediately if clinton releases all of her deleted e-mails. >> let her release her e-mails and i'll release my tax returns immediately. >> reporter: now, just a few seconds after making that pledge that he would be open to releasing his tax returns, george, he seemed to take it back saying that would be, of course, only after the irs audit

of his taxes were complete. meanwhile, both clinton and trump will appear on the same stage tonight, although at different times at a national security forum in new york. >> that's right, jon karl, thanks very much. let's talk about it with kellyanne conway, donald trump's campaign manager and i want to start out with national security because that's what you'll talk about tonight. have you shown you are moving up in the polls over the last week. clinton super pac is hitting back hard with this new ad. >> i'm really good at -- i love war in a certain way. including with nuke, yes, including with nukes. i know pore about isis than the generals do, believe me. >> i love war, putting nuclear weapons on the table. the clinton says that's irresponsible? >> what's irresponsible is cherry picking little snippets of what he said. this woman was secretary of state for nour years. the reason she's struggling in part is because aren't fond of

that record and she will be held account for that record. she's actually been in control of many aspects of our national security and our troops and defense and i think that given all of her super pac including her campaign having spent over $200 million most in paid advertising one wonders why is n she not at 50%, 60% in the polls. >> what does he mean when he says i love war. >> i'd have to see the entire snippet there but obviously many commanders in chief have made the very difficult decision to go to war. you have hillary clinton as secretary of state calling a russia reset that didn't work, wrong on libya, wrong on syria and certainly wrong on benghazi and i think they'll both be held to account for that. we need to -- this is why it's so important to come out of hiding and glad mrs. clinton has done that because people deserve a conversation with the candidates and don't just do ads against each other. we do very few ads. he was with 88 -- he had 88 military generals come out to

support him yesterday and did a military preparedness town hall in virginia then he was in north carolina and got to talk to the voters directly. >> those conversations are coming. mr. trump has been hitting clinton on the clinton foundation saying it's pay to play but front page in new york new york says a lot of contribution that his foundation made to pam bondi, the attorney general of florida. now, the time line they spoke on the phone. an investigation was announced into trump university. trump foundation accepts a $25,000 check. the investigation is called off. if that were mrs. clinton wouldn't you be calling that pay to play. >> i would ask her what happened and in the case of mr. trump and attorney general bondi, they said they never discussed the trump university lawsuit. mr. trump -- >> they did talk on the phone at that time period. >> they may have talked about anything. he has a residence in florida. >> she asked for a contribution. >> for her re-election. he has supported many, many republican candidates. we do know mrs. clinton, second clinton used the state

department as a con sercierge f many foreign donors. half the meetings by those who gave money. a man who gives consistently to republican candidates in the re-election and had her official taff that we pay for, bartering for position and bartering for state dinners and, you know, just making contributions that are inappropriate, the state department is a very busy place. we should get human rights for those women and girls not disrespected and not worry about foreign governments coming in. >> roger ailes, fox news paying a $20 million settlement over those -- that sexual harassment lawsuit. a lot reporting mr. ailes is helping with attack lines. is that appropriate in light of this settlement? >> so, i'm at trump tower every day. i've never seen mr. ailes there. i saw him one time for lunch recently. he was at lump and -- >> but he is giving mr. trump advice. >> mr. trump -- i don't know

because mr. trump speaks to many people on the phone when i'm there there and have known each other for 30 years prefox news and prepresidential politics. >> kellyanne conway, thanks. >> thanks for having me. now to that deadly hurricane to hit mexico on the move this morning and the tropical storm could make history in the u.s. and ginger has been tracking the storm and, ginger, what do we have. >> newton a tropical storm in northwestern mexico about to cross the border into arizona. that's the right, a tropical storm in arizona and that is rare. so if it does indeed stay a tropical storm and make its way right there over tucson, not only see wind and a lot of rain but only the sixth time in recorded history that arizona has direct impact from a tropical storm. so what does that mean for you? you can get 2 to 4 inches falling quickly. it is so dry in the southwest as we know with a lot of drought in place, that's going to be a big issue. you can also see the moisture get trapped as far north as wisconsin so, michael, not only is this a big deal for a huge swath of the country but my

mother-in-law lives in tucson so there is a lot of work here and, janice, i got you, all right. >> may be moving in with you. >> right. >> a little bit. >> that's right. >> thank you, ginger. the latest on bill cosby. he appeared in a pennsylvania court yesterday where a judge set a june trial date for a sexual assault case and linsey davis has been covering it from the start, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. bill cosby's lead attorney says his client has been the victim of racial bias and prejudice. and while he contends that for the past 14 months the sexual assault allegations against cosby have pleaed out in the court of public opinion nine mops from now they will be laid out in criminal court when his client goes to trial. bill cosby will have his day in court no later than june 5th of next year. his legal team says they welcome the trial date. >> the time has come for somebody somewhere to shine a spotlight on the trampling of this man's civil rights and that time is now. >> reporter: the three counts of felony aggravated indecent

assault stemmed from an alleged incident in 2004. former temple university employee andrea constand alleges that he drugged and molested her at his pennsylvania home. she is one of at least 50 women who have accused the comedian of sexual assault. prosecutors hope to paint cosby as a serial offender and are asking the judge to allow 13 accusers to testify at the trial. women that they say could demonstrate a pattern of behavior that's consistent with constand's allegations. >> if it wasn't important we wouldn't be seeking to introduce it. >> reporter: cosby has maintained all along that the encounter with constand was consensual and long denied the other allegations. >> women should not be objectified but not at the cost of sacrificing every person's fundamental right to be deemed innocent before proven guilty. >> reporter: cosby's lead attorney says they'll likely ask for a change of venue but the judge points out that due to the international attention this case has garnered it'll be

difficult to find prospective jurors anywhere who are not familiar with the details of the case. now to that big break in the case of a missing child who vanished nearly 27 years ago, a minnesota man confessing in chilling detail about ab ducking and killing 11-year-old jacob wetterling in 1989. abc's alex perez has all the details for us, good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. investigators say the man responsible for jacob's death had been a suspect for years but it wasn't until they nabbed him on a different case that he finally confessed. after nearly three decades jacob wetterling's family and friends in a minnesota courtroom finally learning the horrific truth about his disappearance. >> i want to say, jacob, i'm so sorry. >> reporter: heinrich confessing in court as part of a plea deal. the 53-year-old already behind bars for child pornography charges. >> danny behiheinrich is no lona

person of interest but the confessed murderer. >> reporter: he revealed grim details of his death admitting he abducted him and sexually abused him before shooting him. >> an 11-year-old boy was kidnapped from the streets of st. joseph, minnesota. >> reporter: in 1989 wetterling vanished riding his bicycle with his brother and friend. police reporting a masked gunman kidnapped the boy leading to a massive search for any leads behind his disappearance. >> mornings are i think the worst for me. >> reporter: the case growing cold until heinrich gave the fbi a tip last week. >> he led investigators to the burial site finally we knew, finally the wetterling family could lay their son to rest. >> for us, jacob was alive till we found him. >> reporter: and heinrich -- jacob's parents, i should say, have become national advocates for missing children.

heinrich under the plea deal will spend 20 years behind bars. robin. >> all right, alex, thank you. we're definitely thinking of jacob's family this morning. amy with today's other top stories starting with a nationwide manhunt. >> that's right. breaking overnight, a murder suspect escaping from police custody in las vegas has been captured after a four-day manhunt. alonz alon alonsso pierre president. police confirmed they found a vehicle packed with gas cylinders outside notre dame cathedral sunday. local media says the car's owner was on a government watch list. two suspects have been arrested. and there are new details on the $1.7 billion the u.s. paid iran this year. the obama administration now acknowledging the payment was made entirely in cash. critics claim the payment was ransom for the release of american hostages.

but the white house insists it was a settlement stemming from the 1970s and says cash was necessary because sanctions blocked iran from using the global banking system. well, a record-breaking american astronaut has returned to earth joining two russians in a soyuz capsule landing in central asia. jeff williams spent six months on the space station during four missions, he spent a record 534 days in orbit. and an unusual landing for a suspected drunk driver in connecticut. his car ended up lodged into this building eight feet off the ground. police say he fled but was caught just a short time later but what a stunning photo there. finally basketball superstar steph curry is on a promotional tour overseas and decided to join a game in thigh want but watch what happened when he tried to make one of his famous three-point shots, boom, he was blocked. >> whoa. >> by a 17-year-old. everyone was shocked.

curry complimented the young man and then invited him to join his basketball camp in the u.s. but, you know, he made 402 three-pointers last season alone. just took that one 17-year-old, i don't think so. not so fast. >> every kid will try to block his shots when he goes to his camp. >> picture his whole life. that's fantastic. >> absolutely. and another thing everybody is excited about, big apple announcement. a lot of people are anticipating this, lots of talk that an iphone 7 will be revealed later today and abc's neal karlinsky is in san francisco outside the auditorium with the announcement is expected. good morning, neal. how are you. >> reporter: big day out here. >> really big day. you remember when your iphone was this size. that's about the size of my thumb right now. but now what do you remember -- what do you expect from this new iphone 7? what can we look forward to? >> i have one of my ole ones too. it looks like a toy next to the iphone 6. a huge difference that they've

come but now i think the new iphone we'll see today is not going to be as drastic a change at least in appearance from the iphone 6. >> the big thing everyone is talking about is no headphone jack. a lot of us have bought headphones. i know have. some really expensive. what is going on with that something that's reality? >> reporter: here's what we're expecting from the new iphone 7 and it is actually one of the smallest parts right down there, you're right. it's that headphone jack. we think apple is taking that away. taking that real estate back. possibly for another speaker, possibly to make the phone more waterproof. possibly for a larger battery. another big change we're expecting is for the first time that home button won't be an actual physical button that you can push in. it'll be a touch sensitive area on the phone and one other big thing, it's not as sexy but important, possibly more storage, 32 gigs in the base model. that's a big deal for a lot of people who are constantly having to defeat photos and movies to

make room. but you're right it's that headphone jack that has a lot of people buzzing. you'll likely get an adapter or have to buy an adapter so you won't have to throw out those expensive headphones and might possibly be wireless headphones too. >> i don't know about you but i think more storage is very sexy. very sexy to me. always use more storage. >> you're heading into dangerous territory right there. >> without going there too early. >> neal, thank you and hopefully we can see that iphone 7 on the show soon. let's go back to ginger with know in the rks and heat in the east. >> yes, you know it's autumn when we're looking at this. this is montana so this is higher elevation, right. but they did get the s snow and summer not over at all. the heat and humidity building and feel like the 90s and 100s from the mid-atlantic through the northeast through the rest >> let tote rainy cities brought to you by famous footwear.

>> $20 million. >> settled sexual discrimination lawsuit. >> fox news making headlines of its own just two months after the bombshell lawsuit from former "fox & friends" anchor gretchen carlson against roger ailes for sexual harassment. the network's parent company is settling for $20 million. the announcement after a scathing "new york" magazine article announcing she was secretly recording conversations with him since 2014. according to the report in one recording he allegedly told her, i think you and i should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and i'd be good and better. >> the parent company wanted this to be over and done with. they're trying to have this be part of the past. not part of their future. >> reporter: in an unprecedented public apology to carlson 21st century fox said we sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our

colleagues deserve." carlson whose contract expired in june responded saying, i'm ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which i will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace. as roger ailes who always denied the allegations resigned from fox news two weeks after the lawsuit was filed, his lawyers told abc news, he is not contributing to the $20 million settlement and just minutes after that settlement made news, an abrupt statement announcing the departure of greta van susteren. >> there's so much going on beyond on the record. >> reporter: fox news saying we are grateful for greta's many contributions over the years and wish her continued success. later that day, greta writing on her facebook page, fox has not felt like home to me for a 2350u years. a source close to greta told abc news she exercised what is called the key man clause in her contract which allowed her to leave if ailes was no longer at the helm. miss van susteren's husband said

in a phone interview with "the new york times" there is so much chaos it's very hard to work there. and as a part of ailes' severance package he received a reported $40 million payout which would be double what carlson will receive in her settlement. george. >> yeah, and he's not paying any part of the carlson settlement. let's talk to dan abrams about it. pretty unusual to see that apology from fox news -- i mean from 21st century fox in addition to paying the $20 million. we also have known reports of other cases being settled. will that open the door. >> the 20 million will open the door to new cases. wow, they're willing to pay 20 million in a case like this. nationally, the average sexual harassment settlement is five figures meaning 50,000 to $100,000 range. you're talking about 20 million. gretchen carlson was not one of the higher paid people at fox news. so this is a gigantic settlement number from fox and the fact that they also included a

written apology is incredibly unusual and you know that that was part of the settlement agreement. >> demand. >> this was not just something fox decided to put out. incredibly unusual to see this kind of number and apology. >> the other unusual element she sued roger ailes personally yet 21st century fox makes the settlement. >> it was always clear it was going to come down to them because he was working for them. you can try to sue him personally and try to make him the one accountable but when he's working in his capacity as the chairman of fox news, they're going to be the ones that have to pay for it at the end. >> you won't be surprised to see more suits. >> there's still the statute of limitations. you can't start bringing stuff up from many, many years ago. there has to be stuff relatively recent, last few years or so for it to be a legitimate lawsuit. >> how about this gretchen carlson case. her husband a prominent attorney, as well. telling "the new york times" there's more here than meets the eye.

litigation could be coming. >> seems what happened greta tried to play hardball when interest came to negotiations and saw an opportunity, had an opportunity legally to get out of her contract if roger ailes was no longer there. she basically says to fox, i want out of my contract. and they say, well, we're not going to negotiate. it's over. we're done. so she may have overstated her import to fox and as a result, made a bad call when it came to the negotiations but it sounds like there could be additional legal wrangling between her and fox as well. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. >> all right, very interesting. coming up on our big board, rock 'n' roll legend bruce springsteen opening up about his difficult battle with depression. what's behind it. the latest on how he's doing, plus, the colin kaepernick debate is heating up again as team usa's hockey coach steps in threatening to bench players who don't tan for the national anthem. is he going too far? we'll discuss that in just two

"this depression" but at home it was definitely a factor and credits his wife patty with being able to spot when something is wrong and this man needs a pill. a sobering thing from someone. he's heard the cheers across the country, a lot in the same stadium, michael, where you heard them back in the day. >> filled it more than we did. more than we did. >> but when you leave the stage it's just not the same. >> a different thing. real life. when he talked to "vanity fair" this is what he said. his father suffered from depression. he was afraid he would go down the same path that his father did. he said you don't know the ills in' parameters. can i get sick enough to where i become a lot more like my father than i thought i might? which is what -- what was his father like? >> "vanity fair" telling us he was prone to paranoia and bursts of tears and things like that their turbulent relationship deeply chronicled in many of his most powerful songs and stories he would tell and the "vanity fair" story chronicling a

history of mental history on his father's side. how insidious this is someone who is so familiar with the joy he brings to audiences and who gets so much joy from the people who cheer for him would face this on an ongoing basis and share it with the world. >> how big -- no one wants to talk about it. people they look at it. pull yourself out of it. >> in locker room, cubicles. pull yourself up. cheer up. he understands what he faces and going forward with the full knowledge and support of hit family so that's got to be a positive thing around the country. >> one of the highlights of the career of "gma" member, remember when we had the -- was it asbury park and to be there and he took over our entire show several years back, what a morning. >> he is the key popular figure for so many. >> this announcement is going to help a lot of people. >> i hope so. >> we're pulling for him and everybody else. >> so much of his great music

comes from that deep introspection. >> thank you, chris. now to the latest sports figure wading into the debate. john tortorella head coach of team usa telling espn if any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem they will sit there the rest of the game. we have espn stephen a. smith joining us now and there he is. there is the guy. >> buckle up. >> what's going on. >> a little preacher with that black suit on. black tie. it's such a divisive issue. why even enter into the conversation? >> well, it beats me. he really had no business ingratiating himself into the situation. what i really have a problem with is his position on this. it's one thing if you're representing the nfl or the nba, a private industry. but we're talking about team usa, we're talking about first amendment rights under the united states constitution and when you consider it it that perspective to be a representative of team usa but

want to sit and pooh-pooh usa values seems a bit nonsensical to me and i think it's beyond the pale and if john doesn't change his position i think he's somebody that should be replaced as team usa coach. there's simply no excuse. >> some would argue with that, stephen a., here he is talking about his son serving in the military and when you talk about that, that really gets people going on both sides of the issue and it's interesting, we saw many reports. kaepernick's jersey reportedly is the top seller. >> yeah. >> right now. what do you think that says? >> i think it says that we're a guided nation. you have some people that are looking and highly sensitive to what colin kaepernick had to say in terms of bringing up the police violence and brutality and as it pertains to the african-american community and those on the other side that don't appear to be as sensitive to that particular plight. no matter what way you slice it, here's what it comes down to, regardless of how divided of a nation anissa weier still one nation, the greatest nation in the world and one of the reasons

why is because of the rights that individual liberties come with. if you have the freedom of speech in this country under the united states constitution's first amendment that ultimately supersedes everything. so we can respect where tortorella is coming from and certainly respect where people from our military men and women are sensitive to this and have every right to be. what we stand for is what it comes down to and if colin kaepernick is exercising his team usa rights and the coach shouldn't say i am going to sit you down if you don't abide by what i think. >> a lot of passion there in if he does step down you may have to take over. >> stephen, oh, gosh. >> checking line. >> i'll go with chris connelly first. >> hey, thanks, stephin' a. to a san francisco couple so upset over their wedding viral

going -- video going viral, it captured an awkward movement when the groom tried to remove the garter. i want to read something here. the company said we are very disappointed and upset by the situation and we have spent considerable time removing our video from the internet. they said our video. what do you read into that. >> they said our video because the video belongs to the company, the defendant in this case. that's what's see interesting and a little known fact. videos and photos taken by wedding photographers are owned by the company. the photographers and the videographers. under copyright law they can do whatever they please with it including disseminating it on the internet. >> so before you -- i just learned something from that. >> did you know that, chris? >> mine was so long ago my are

in cave paintings. >> sunny, if you have somebody video is there a way you can have a contract that give you the rights that you own the pictures of yourself and your family. >> absolutely because my wedding video is in my safe at my house because of all the stuff that's on it and that's because as a lawyer i knew to negotiate. negotiate. negotiate. so the little-known fact that you can negotiate is very, very important so you ask the videographer and photographer, listen, transfer those copyrights to me and that way you have full ownership. the other thing in this case is no judgment here, but maybe drink just a little bit less so that your wedding video doesn't necessarily go viral. i mean, wedding is one day. your video going viral is forever. >> yeah, what's that stuff on your video that you got it all squirreled away. >> it's in a safe. >> for a reason, i'm sure.

more cloud cover at the shore. heat wave is on as of today i'll do that coming up next. george. >> thank you, ginger. i'm here now with aaron eckhart starring with tom hanks in "sully." the story of that incredible landing on the hudson river. he plays sully's co-pilot. they're facing a pretty tough investigation behind closed doors. let's take a look. >> look, i just finished training on the a320. the only reason the plane operated as well as it did the aircraft could land anywhere is because captain sullenberger turned on the auxiliary power unit. >> following the qrh. >> no, he wasn't following proper procedure at all because i had that in my hands. if he had followed the damn rules, we'd all be dead. >> you lost the mustache. >> it's in the smithsonian. i put it on tape and sent it there in it was a polarizing

mustache. >> it was -- well, i mean, you know, actually the mustache got a lot of attention. people would come up and say, nice, 'stache or the women would say they liked it. the real jeff skiles has a mustache. >> i don't think many know the story that you all tell in the movie. really tough investigation. >> everybody remembers the plane landing on the hudson, 155 lives saved. sully was a hero. what they don't understand or know about the story is that the national transportation safety board has an inquiry afterwards to make sure they crossed all the ts and dotted the is and followed procedure and it's quite a harrowing procedure. the consequence if they're found at fault could be they lose their jobs and their pensions and lose their reputations. and so over the course of a period of time, they didn't know whether they were ever going to fly again. >> just incredible. i hear you and tom had some harrowing moments inside the flight simulator. >> oh, yeah, well, we went to

the simulator, tom and i in san francisco and clint was there and sully was there which was great and but, you know, flying those planes is difficult. you know, tom and i barely got it off the runway let alone in the air but we had the exact flight plan that they followed up there getting it up, getting to 3,000 feet, the birds hitting, double engine failure and jeff skiles said, the thing that he noticed the most was, you know, you're always -- when you're in a plane you hear that constant whine of the engine and when that sound went out, he said it was complete silence and that's the thing that he noticed the most and then they were able to get the plane down in three minutes which is incredible. >> split-second decision. you don't buy this idea they could have gotten back. >> no, they were at 3,000 feet. they had nowhere to lapd on both sides. it was the best route. and they were very confident. i mean, water landings are very difficult. but sully and jeff, you know, that was the option that they had so they took it. >> can't wait to see the movie.

i try to reach him and he's not there. i miss him. >> he writes letters. >> who are they to. >> howard doesn't write letters to people. he writes to things. time. love. death. >> kids right letters to santa claus. it doesn't mean they're crazy. >> no, this is therapeutic. >> who did you write the letter to? >> i wrote the letter to death. >> nice to meet you. charmed, i'm sure. >> nope. >> people write letters to the universe all the time. most don't get a personal response. but you are. i don't want this. >> i'm time. i'm a gift. and you're wasting it. >> you're going to think i'm crazy but, i'm having conversations. >> i am love. >> don't try to live without me, howard. >> i saw you in her eyes when she called me daddy and you betrayed me. >> i'm the reason for everything.
