definitely the guy. >> sheriff, we know griffin called 911. tell me what happened when you all got that call and decided to pursue these two. >> the leaders of our s.w.a.t. team decided that they would form a perimeter around the cabin and instead of trying to breach the door and potentially jeopardize the hostage, you know, this and the suspect and our s.w.a.t. operators, we formed a perimeter and got into hide positions and decided to wait until the suspect exited the cabin. he was enticed to exit the cabin around 9:30 on thursday morning. and the srt team took him into custody without incident. >> i wanted to bring in lieutenant tharsing. i know you were there conducting the arrest of tad. can you give me a sense of their reaction to the arrest?

did tad or elizabeth say anything, do anything? >> you know, they made a couple spontaneous statements saying he was glad the incident had come to an end. he was relieved. he made several comments he wasn't going to cause any altercation with law enforcement and said he had seen the flyers and bolos that he was armed and dangerous. he said he was armed but in no way dangerous and wanted to make sure that he would cooperate with law enforcement fully and completely. >> lieutenant, how did elizabeth seem? what was her demeanor. >> obviously whenever the s.w.a.t. team shows up that can be traumatic. she saw us. it was an intense situation and we took -- after we placed him into protective custody, she was laughing, she was crying. she was kind of an emotional roller coaster as you can imagine. >> all right, well, sheriff jon lopey, lieutenant behr tharsing and griffin barry, thank for joining us this morning. the sheriff and lieutenant

mandates to keep down the costs of insurance. and congress is still out on its recess so the real test comes next week when they return, but right now no indication that the republicans who oppose the health care reform bill on the last one are now ready for a new deal on this new one and democrats right now, george, already saying no way, nancy pelosi calls this plan worse than the last one. >> they say it's not going anywhere. meantime, on the government funding talks behind the scenes have been going pretty well to keep the government open for some time. a new stumbling block emerging. this white house demand for funder for the border wall. >> reporter: the clock is ticking right now on this deadline for this government shutdown. the white house really is calling a hard line on this and say democrats have to help fund this border wall. this is a priority for the president. this is a sticking point for them but, look, george, democrats are holding the line and say the white house is moving in with a heavy hand right now. >> the government won't stay open if some democrats don't vote for it. cecilia vega, thanks very much. thousand to that war of words with north korea.

get china to put more pressure on north korea and yesterday the president said there are indications that china is stepping up. >> i can say that all of the pundits out there are saying they never have seen china work like they're working right now. some very unusual moves have been made over the last two or three hours. >> reporter: so what was he talking about with those new moves? i asked the senior staff here at the white house. we asked the pentagon. we asked the state department. nobody could or would tell us. but could be that heightened alert status those chinese bombers were put on possibly, amy. >> all right, jon karl, thank you. george. more with matthew dowd here. let's talk about the 100 days. the white house seems conflicted on how to talk about it. the president says no one has accomplished more in the first 100 days than i have and this morning out with a new tweet saying no matter how much i accomplish during this ridiculous standard of the first 100 days and it has been a lot

including the supreme court, media will kill. so they're braced for all this right now. how should we think about it? >> first of all it's a standard. he has been talking about, right, ever since election day all the things he was going to do in the first 100 days. i would say what's so far it's very mixed. let's keep in mind he has all the levers of powers in washington, the presidency, the senate. he has the house. he now has the supreme court in that. you would think having all these home games basically he's going to have a series of wins so i think it's been underwhelming and if you look at the public's response to the first 92 days, two-thirds of country think we are weigh off on the wrong track and a majority still disapproves of him so i think he has much more to prove. >> number one thing he has to do. >> passion a bill at some point where you see he's brought congress together and he demonstrates it. all the things he said so far the public has not yet seen it affecting their lives. >> matt dowd, thanks very much. all the latest in politics sunday morning on "this week" and release a brand-new poll on

to belize last year but tomari drowned in a river. >> any respect i had for that school is gone. it is gone. just because of the fact that no information was offered. i've been to see what actually happened. >> reporter: for 14 months his mother adell said nobody told her how he drowned. he was wearing a small camera on his head. >> now i'm able to fill in the gaps and see for myself, okay, this is really what happened. >> reporter: watch from tomari's point of view as he rinses his shoes in the river and walks toward the shore. later he's back in the river. they're blurred but these are the other students and six chaperons swimming around him. tomari appears to be struggling. his hand reaching out for a rock. abc news is not showing the rest of the video. in it you can hear tomari call out for help three times.

the others just feet away. his mom now suing the school district and the local sanctuary monkey bay. >> i'm thinking it takes seconds to extend your hand and pull someone up. so there were multiple opportunities to save him. >> the chaperones are in his plain view and they do nothing. they should have been watching every single child and forgive me in i'm angry but this is unacceptable. >> reporter: her lawyer says no one knew tomari was missing until it was too late. his body found the next day. >> it took an hour for them to realize tomari, who was the only african-american boy on that trip was missing. and so they must not have been paying attention. >> reporter: this morning the cobb county school district tells abc news, we cannot comment on pending litigation. the monkey bay sanctuary says in part all of us continue to grieve the tragic loss of tomari jackson. so many students across this country take international trips.

what is your message to other parents? >> trust no one. tomari may have been an afterthought to many but to me he was everything. >> a strong mother right there. you can read the sanctuary's full statement on our website. adell bought that camera for tomari right before the class trip. the u.s. state department sent it to her after receiving it from the sanctuary in belize. while she says no one spoke up for him after his death, she believes tomari has spoken for himself with this video. >> that video is so telling because you can see the chaperones right there. what does the family say the chaperones were doing while their son was drowning? >> well, they believe that they were just swimming around and not taking care of those kids. they say the video backs them up. >> all right. gio, thanks so much. certainly an incredibly tragic story. >> it sure is. michael. coming up, celebrities under fire for what they're posting on instagram? we'll talk about that. plus, everyone is going crazy for the unicorn frappuccino including a barista

see if they're happy or they'll ratchet it up. >> i wasn't one of those that got the letters. thank you. next up the hottest new frozen drink, the starbucks unicorn frappuccino is taking america by storm and customers are lining up for a chance to try the sugary treat and opinions are sharply divided. t.j. is at a starbucks right outside of our studio and these are selling like hotcakes but everybody is not a fan of this drink. >> yeah, strahan, everybody calm down. 500 calories, 76 grams of sugar, 18 grams of fat. let's all line up. that's what this is. cotton candy in a cup. people are going crazy about it. a lot of people, i'll get into the general public in a second but the baristas also have an issue. one kid in particular, listen to his rant. >> i have never made so many frappuccinos in my entire life. my hands are completely sticky. i have unicorn crap all in my

hair and on my nose. i have never been so stressed out in my entire life. for the love of god and everything that is good, don't get the unicorn frappuccino. [ laughter ] >> okay. well, all right. look, never been so stressed out in his life. he's 19. just wait, little homey. all right. going to be long for the days of frappuccinos. a lot of baristas agree. they're having a tough time making this thing. all right. but it got a lot of attention? speaking about online people have been losing their mind because they love it so much. tell us what they are saying. my daughters apparently got two of those yesterday too. >> okay. tell her to stay away. there's nothing but embarrassment and humiliation and lost dreams in this cup, okay. look, the thing is made up of all kinds of stuff. now, this thing is not meant to be consumed. it's meant to be instagramed.

it's pretty. some of the reactions people had. we got some for you. bring them out. give them to our guys there in the studio. you can taste them. one guy said the unicorn frappuccino tastes like a birthday party nobody came to. somebody else said sitting in starbucks watching people's excitement turn to disgust. another, raise your hand if this is the most important thing on your to do list today. it's only going to be around for a few more days, folks. it's meant to be promotional and fun. did you try it? >> it tastes like a sweet tart. >> i tell you, it tastes like a sweet tart and i got to admit i love sweet tarts. >> could you drink that? >> guys -- >> i couldn't drink all of it. but it was pretty good. >> here's the thing, guys. the cool thing, they say the cool thing, you stir it, it changes color and it changes taste. it goes from sweet to sour. another thing people are getting excited about. >> i tell you what, that kid who

posted that video, i am going back to what that video as one of the funniest things i've ever seen and hopefully he did #ad. >> or #noad. >> #nothanks. t.j. and larry, thank you. that exclusive caitlyn jenner one-on-one with diane sawyer revealing what her life is like now. coming up "gma's" concert series is presented by belvita breakfast biscuits. the delicious way to fuel your morning. to great tasting flavor.

good to see you. great to see you. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> oh, you are one busy woman. >> yes. >> you are so busy with the new movie "unforgettable" which we'll talk about in a second and play claire temple in luke cage which i love and now you'll be on all the marvel shows on netflix. do you know the whole story when you're on set. do you know everything going on in the marvel universe. >> no, no, no. they don't tell you anything as well. it's really interesting normally doing film you get a script and know exactly what you'll do and that's what you're agreeing to but maybe some changes. this i said yes i'm playing claire temple for "daredevil." now i'm in china five episodes later. >> if you want to see what happens do you actually like all of us watch at home. do you binge-watch? how do you catch up. >> like my character, we've had so many premieres of the different shows and most of the time my character doesn't show up until episode four or five so i keep going to these premieres

and i'm not in, once again, you killed it. where are you? they're like, can't wait till i see you and binge it on the weekend. it's weird because every show i've been on the first script i get is the first script that i'm in so every time i've watched the season when it's come out i have to binge it as well because i don't know what happens in the beginning. they're so secretive it's crazy. >> we have good news for you. we here at "gma" specialize in studies that tell you -- reinforce you to do what you want to do. we got a study binge-watching is good for you. >> oh, really? >> good to know. [ applause ] >> the professor makes the claim it will make you smarter. >> i like that. >> not bad. >> interesting. when you binge-watch you're watching most of these shows about 13 of them so 13 hours of entertainment and basically reading a book but watching and listening. >> that's what my kids tell me. >> you get such a meandering story rather than cuts and turns

that don't necessarily make sense because you have to cut so much out you get to have that robust story with all the different characters. you really get immersed in a world so you learn stuff. >> binging is good, people. >> i'm down with that. [ applause ] >> that's why, you know, started with people were sick. binge-watching was the thing -- i got sick this weekend so i caught up on and now people do it. am at work and i can't work because i binge-watched all night. the new way people watch stuff. >> i don't know if you noticed we have a new studio audience. >> i see.
