good morning, america. manhandled in montana. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. >> a congressional candidate charged with assaulting a reporter. >> he asked about his health care plan and he body slammed him. >> the police called in the sheriff's office investigating. as montanans go to the polls this morning for a special election. now the reporter at the center of that tape is joining us on "gma." breaking overnight, new arrests in connection with that concert terror attack and the raid on the suspect's home, police discovering a bomb workshop. >> this is clearly a network that we are investigating. >> what these new images of the explosive device reveal and was the bomber's brother about to

carry out his own attack? tornadoes tear through six states. this school gym demolished. just basketball hoops left standing and the roof of this fire department and these homes totally destroyed. now more than 40 million on alert for severe weather this holiday weekend. and a scary moment at the zoo. an ape named jumanji caught on camera picking up a cement block and hurling it toward a family. inside that terrifying moment as a mom races to protect her 2-year-old child. we do say good morning, america. what news to wake up this morning to. that republican congressional candidate charged with body-slamming a reporter. >> the reporter ben jacobs is stange by for our exclusive with him. >> not something you expect to see. voters in montana go to the

polls today and it was sparked by a question about health care. ben jacobs was asking greg gianforte about it. this is a big race. the white house democrats fighting hard. abc's david wright has the story, good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. you know, we talk about covering the rough and tumble of politics. well, normally that's just a figure of speech but in bozeman, montana, not so much, a special election to choose the state's one and only house member. the front-runner now facing criminal charges accused of body-slamming a reporter for asking a tough question. >> rp states that he was assaulted by greg gianforte and he states greg body-slammed him and kicked his arm. >> reporter: overnight montana's republican candidate for congress, greg gianforte cited for misdemeanor assault. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. >> reporter: he was about to do ab interview with fox news when

ben jacobs uninvited came into the room to ask him a question. >> the cbo score. as you know you've been waiting to make your decision about health care until -- >> we'll talk to you about that later. >> yeah, but there's -- if speak with shane please. >> reporter: jacobs captured the sound of what happened next. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. the last time you came in here you did the same thing. get the hell out of here. jesus. >> get the hell out of here. the last guy did that same thing. are you with "the guardian"? >> yes, and you just broke my glasses. >> the last guy did the same damn thing. >> reporter: the group from fox news watched in disbelief and said gianforte grabbed jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. the fox crusade gianforte began punching the reporter as gianforte moved on top of jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of i'm

sick and tired of this. jacobs' account was partly confirmed by a buzzfeed reporter outside the room who looked in as the altercation was already under way. >> and then all of a sudden there was a huge crash like very audible. everyone heard it and saw ben's feet kind of like come up the way someone does when they're getting knocked over. >> reporter: "gmgianforte's campaign blames jacobs and insists the candidate was merely grabbing for the phone he says jacobs pushed into his face. quote, it's unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer barbecue but the local fox account directly corrects that noting, to be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward gianforte. now, three of the state's biggest newspapers as of this

morning have rescinded their endorsements. this is a race for a seat held by the new secretary of interior. not clear how it will affect that race. gianforte has been in the lead but a lot of people in montana vote early. >> and we will hear from ben jacobs live in a moment but first we want to get to this. that critical report on the gop health care bill estimating what it would cost and how many would be uninsured and the impact of your monthly premium. our congressional correspondent mary bruce has those details for us and joins us on the hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the bill has already passed, been hailed a victory by the president and now that scorecard can finally in. so what could the house health care bill actually mean for you? well, according to the nonpartisan congressional budget office over the next decade, 23 million more americans would be uninsured and $119 billion cut from the deficit. now, some could see their premiums skyrocket especially the poor and the elderly. they are likely to be the

hardest hit, for instance, a 64-year-old making roughly $26,000 a year could see their premiums climb nearly $12,000 and for those with pre-existing conditions, the budget office warns their coverage could become economically out of reach. robin. >> of course, that's the version that passed the house. it's the senate's turn and even before this, before this report, mary, they said they would start from scratch. >> reporter: yeah, robin, this is far from a done deal and republicans i've talked with stress that big changes are coming here in the senate but even leadership seems uncertain. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he doesn't know how he'll get the 50 votes he needs to get this done. >> thank you. >> we got ben jacobs on the phone and talk to him. he was the reporter in the center of that incident last night. ben, thanks for joining us. first things first, how are you feeling? >> i'm still making it. it's still been surprising and shocking set of events but i'm recovering. >> well, that's good to know. give us your side of the story.

we heard that statement from the gianforte campaign saying you were the aggressor. tell us what happened from your perspective. >> i mean i think the statements i gave to the police, what the audio speaks for itself. the only thing in gianforte's statement is my name and place of employment. everything -- >> so walk us through what happened. you walk up. you want to ask a question about the cbo report. what happens next? >> that you hear exactly what happens, what happens in the audio and, you know, i never touched or came close to gianforte and it's -- it became -- it became, you know, something that turned on a dime into the type of encounter i never expected to have with a politician and one that's very disappointing for what it means for the press and what the role of reporters are to ask questions. >> he put his hands on your neck. the fox reporter said he was

punching you? >> that's -- that's the fox reporter says that. i'm -- i was on the ground at that point so it's -- was a little bit sudden but i went from being vertical to horizontal the next. >> we hear him saying he's sick and tired of this. have you had any history with the candidate? >> no, i hadn't. i've been following the candidate. went to a couple of campaign stops and i think there may have been some discontent with an article done by a colleague of mine but i have no personal interactions with him other than following him from the couple campaign stops. >> he's been charged with misdemeanor. not felony assault. is that good enough for you. >> it's -- i made my statement to the police and that's the decision the police made. >> do you expect to take any further legal action? >> i'm still -- this is still sort of 12 hours after it happened. i'm still trying to quite figure out what's going on and cope with the fact that it's someone who is a reporter being brushed

into the center of a story which is not a comfortable place. >> not a comfortable place to be but till possible you will take further perhaps civil action? >> i haven't even begun to think about that right now. right now i'm just more concerned about trying to figure out what's going on and, you know, just expressing my concern of the fact that, you know, that reporters trying to ask basic policy questions of politicians are sort of meeting this response and being very hardened by the reaction i've been getting from my fellow colleagues. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. let's bring in jon karl in brussels with the president. any reaction from the white house to this incident? they were fighting pretty hard for gianforte? >> reporter: no reaction. the vice president has been to montana to campaign for him and i've got to tell you, george, i know ben jacobs. he covers the white house and trump campaign. he's a solid reporter and regardless of that, it's shocking to hear somebody get

assaulted like that. it gets pretty dicey out there at some of these events as you know with the press often portrayed as an enemy but you don't really expect to see a situation where a reporter is assaulted or allegedly assaulted by somebody who he is trying to cover. >> on the underlying issue of the congressional budget office's analysis of the house health care plan, pretty close to what the original analysis is. the white house taking it on? >> reporter: the white house has been downplaying cbo analysis from the start so we haven't heard directly a response to this yet. i'm sure they will say that cbo is just not right on this. but this is a devastating analysis, not just because of the 23 million that cbo estimates will lose their health coverage over the next ten years but projects people yums will rise over the next two years and that not everybody with pre-existing conditions will be able to get health insurance and that's been a fundamental promise the president made, the

president himself has made over and over again. >> meantime, jon, you are in brussels, new phase of this trip. the president meeting with a series of european leaders today. >> reporter: meeting with angela merkel who by the way just a few -- just a short while ago met with barack obama who is visiting germany. that will be an interesting meeting also. the newly elected president of france, macron, will be meeting with him with an agenda similar to the agenda the pope had, that the vatican had urging the president not to drop out of the paris climate accord. that is something that all of these -- all of our nato partners are a party to and in his next meeting with the g7 in italy also something that virtually all of our allies are a part of and don't want donald trump to pull america out of it. >> big debate inside the white house what to do with that as well. thanks very much. now to new arrests in connection with that concert terror attack. authorities detaining more suspects in britain and taking

the bomber's father and brother into custody in libya where they learned new details about the bomber's path to isis. brian ross is here with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. major developments overnight with important new details about the bomb and the bomber and his planning provided in a confession by the bomber's younger brother. officials this morning say the bomber's home in manchester where they blew open the door was a kind of bomb workshop. there are no signs of that now through the open front door of the abandoned house but officials say they discovered a huge load of unused chemicals, more than enough for several more bombs. and we are learning more this morning about salman abedi's rapid road to jihad. a secret life beyond the front page pictures of a british schoolboy and a goofy-looking teenager at the beach. his decision to become part of isis came two years ago. that's according to the reported confession of his younger brother hashim arrested

wednesday by police in libya supposedly about to carry out his own terror attack. authorities say hashim told them that he and his brother began watching isis online videos in 2015, closely studying a range of videos on how to build suicide bombs. experts say the details seen in the pictures of the manchester bomb obtained by "the new york times" show greater physical kitation including a design used by isis in paris and brussels and more than one detonator. >> really suggesting that he probably did not act alone, that he probably had some help, that he certainly had some advice on how to create the bomb. >> reporter: five weeks before the attack, the two brothers traveled to libya an isis stronghold and the family's ancestral home. with salman returning to manchester on may 17th. just five days before he would go to the concert arena. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: and then set off his bomb.

police in manchester have now arrested seven other people in the case including another of the bomber's brothers and his father is under arrest in libya as authorities continue to pursue what they call a network of terrorists, robin. >> we've learned that british authorities will no longer share information about this attack with their u.s. counterparts. >> that's right. they're furious. the crime scene photos ended up in "the new york times" blaming american authorities for the leaks. i covered a lot of these stories around the world. in most cases the british legal system proves to be the least forthcoming with details that other countries see as the public's right to know. >> thanks very much. there was a special moment last night. >> emotional week in manchester and it was an emotional win for manchester united. they triumphed in a europa league final and the fans in the stands showed their support for those back home with signs saying, do it for manchester and your hate makes us stronger. there you go. take a look at the fans in

manchester, very rough week and now something to be happy and cheer about. >> yeah. we're happy to have amy back with us from manchester and you even mentioned about, you know, manchester united. >> a lot of people were talking about it yesterday. a city on edge, a city united and people were looking forward to that football game last night so i think a lot are happy they won. >> other top stories for us. >> i do. for the first time since president trump took office a u.s. warship has sailed within 12 miles of a chain of disputed islands in the south china sea. challenging chinese territorial claims, analysts say that move may be a signal that the u.s. is not satisfied with china's efforts to rein in north korea's missile program. the controversial leader of the philippines is threatening to expand martial law to fight isis. rodrigo duterte has deployed soldiers to restore order in the southern part of the country after deadly clashes. a priest was among 14 people taken hostage. and the jury has been selected in the bill cosby sexual assault trial. his lawyers accused prosecutors

of trying to keep african-americans off the jury. both sides eventually agreed to include two black jurors and cosby spoke briefly outside court. >> i just want to be very specific about the wonderful people of allegheny county and i want to also thank the sheriff's department because they made everything very, very smooth. >> opening statements in the trial are june 5th. some shocking video out of memphis. a man was sleeping, look at that. on the trunk of this car that was driving down the highway. police say the driver was unaware that that guy was there for 14 miles until an officer stopped him. they say the man who hitched the ride was drunk, but remarkly was not injured. all right, finally a treat for a very good dog. alpha the service dog sits next to virginia high school discount a.j. schalk every day and now alpha, you see there, and a.j. are side by side in the yearbook. the dog helps the teen monitor

his diabetes. he even has his own school i.d. that really made me laugh but it's cute because schalk says his disability has turned into a positive experience because he has alpha with him by his side every day. >> beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. >> alpha looked like he didn't want to take the picture like i'm behind the scenes. >> i'm good. >> don't put me in the yearbook. awesome story. now to the wave of tornadoes across six states from ohio to florida and let's go to ginger in orlando this morning. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. from the severe storms 60 plus-mile-per-hour winds in central florida up to that tornado in ohio, more than 100 severe stormd the storm is stile move. touching down from ohio to florida. >> boy, that to me looks like a tornado not on the ground awfully close to it. >> reporter: outside charlotte, north carolina, damaging winds peeling roofs from their homes,

flattening this garage. >> it was just twirling around us and stuff was flying around us. >> reporter: this elementary school demolished. only the basketball hoops left standing. thankfully the school was empty and no one was injured. >> tornado on the ground right here. >> reporter: in ohio overnight a tornado shredding this gas station. >> it's a whole different building. >> reporter: and coming dangerously close to this busy highway. the wicked weather responsible for decimating this fire station and volunteer firefighters seeking shelter under their trucks. >> within ten seconds of us hitting the bay door it hit the staying and on top of us in a minute, minute and a half. that's what it felt like anyway. >> reporter: look at this, guys, at least 25 reported tornadoes in just the past two days. you can see them on the map from illinois to right there in florida. and i want to take you to where the new severe storm threat comes in because there's a new storm, yes, the one in the northeast will drench most people but the real stuff on saturday happens from eastern oklahoma through western kentucky and tennessee. we're going to be watching for

trouble for fox news. advertisers are abandoning sean hannity after he promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the death of a staffer. his name is seth rich. killed in what police call a botched robbery and rebecca jarvis has the story. >> reporter: good morning. fox news even retracting a similar story from its website saying in a statement the article had not gone through the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all of our reporting. now cars.com and peloton exercise bikes are among the companies pulling advertising from sean hannity's show. this morning, some advertisers pulling out of sean hannity's fox news channel show as the host comes under fire for promoting a false conspiracy theory about the death of a former dnc staffer. on wednesday, cars.com and exercise bikemaker peloton both indicated they're pulling ads from hannity's show. in a statement cars.com said they had been watching closely and we recently made the decision to pull our

advertising. peloton stating, we directed our media agency to stop advertising on sean hannity's show. despite the controversy, hannity's ratings have seen a spike up 50% in total viewers from last year. >> questions continue to swirl around the mysterious murder of dnc staffer seth rich. >> hannity has been pursuing this theory that seth rich was actually the person who leaked dnc e-mails to wikileaks and that he was assassinated by the party as a result of that. >> reporter: investigators say there is no indication that rich's death in 20161 connected to his employment at the dnc. >> this kid got shot in the back. they said it was a robbery. >> reporter: on tuesday the rich family sent a letter to hannity's show pleading with them to stop spreading the unproven theory. rich's parents writing in a "washington post" op-ed, those theories are baseless and they are unspeakably cruel. on tuesday after meeting with executives and considering the plea from the rich family hannity appeared to have a change of heart.

>> out of respect for the family's wishes for now, i am not discussing this matter at this time. >> reporter: but following that statement on hannity's program hannity tweeting i'm working harder than ever to get to the truth. the family deserves it. stay tuned. fokts news declining to comment and sean hannity sharing overnight his annual memorial day vacation starts now. >> now to growing safety concerns on mt. everest after four more people were recently found dead on the world's highest peak. a record number of climbing permits have been issued this year raising fears that number could climb. abc's linzie janis is here with more on that. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning. this year's climbing season isn't over yet and already it's shaping up to be more deadly than average. one big problem this year, it's crowded up there. this morning, the world's tallest mountain claiming the lives of four more climbers. their bodies found in a tent just 3,000 feet from the summit

in an area known as the death zone where oxygen measures at one-third of normal levels. >> the conditions there are very harsh. ten to 25 below zero with steady winds over 60 miles an hour. >> reporter: the number of victims so far this year, now ten including 50-year-old alabama doctor roland yearwood who died last weekend succumbing to altitude sickness. one of everest's biggest killers. alongside frostbite, falls and avalanches. >> yeah. >> reporter: like this one in 2015 triggered by an earthquake killing 19. >> hurry. >> reporter: but there is another killer on everest, a man-made one. experts say overcrowding is making the mountain more dangerous than ever. leading to incredible scenes like this one in 2012 showing a giant human snake of climbers. >> the dangers that you're going

to deal with when you're in a giant line like that if there's any problems with the climbers ahead of you, you could be in the line of fire. >> reporter: david kaviny has flown 50 rescue missions this year alone. >> over 700 folks actually climbing. >> reporter: while other helicopters are flying in luxury. some climbers even reportedly indulging in champagne breakfasts. >> there are some better creature comforts, television up there, there's wi-fi there. i know that some guiding ex-pe digs will wake you up and bring coffee to your tent. >> reporter: there was a deejay party at base camp in april. >> it's pretty much wide open on everest as far as who can climb the mountain. pretty much anybody with a checkbook can go up there these days. >> the problem with crowds on everest is you move up the mountain more slowly increasing your chances of fatigue and frostbite and costs up to

$70,000 to climb. you couldn't pay me to do it. >> all right. joining us is dr. kenneth kamler the author of "surviving the extremes." he was the only doctor on the mountain during the 1996 disaster when eight people lost their lives. thank you very much. i enjoyed reading your book. tell people what it is about mt. everest that people want to conquer? >> i think everyone needs to have some goal that they feel is nearly impossible or almost beyond their reach because that brings out qualities in people that they never knew they had and would otherwise lie dormant their entire lives so taking on a challenge like that brings out the best in people and climbing, i think, especially, because it reduces life to its essentials. you worry about staying warm, about shelter, food, friends, really understand what's important in life and you keep that with you when you come back from the mountain. >> you understand that it comes at great risk and not just the

weather, avalanches, but just explain what that altitude does to the body. >> altitude is not natural to the body. no one lives at that kind of an altitude. the body can't acclimatize to an altitude higher than 18,000 feet. beyond that your body just deteriorates. near the summit of everest you only have one-their as much oxygen as you have at sea level so your body doesn't have enough oxygen to burn its inner fire so metabolism slows down and you lose energy and think clearly and that leads to secondary problems. >> do you think as we saw in the piece that -- i even said to you, the reason i hesitate. i considered it for my 50th and said for all the reasons that you described and i'm thinking, my goodness, i have no experience or are there too many permits that are being issued? >> yes, there are far too many perpendiculars being issued. i remember when i was up near the summit there were nine of us. we were the only group up near the summit. the only one and now i see

pictures lines of people waiting to go up to the summit. everest has enough dangers as it is, you don't need to add additional danger of waiting in line and freezing to try to get up toward the summit so it does make it more danger. >> those inexperienced people put others at risk, don't theyy. >> they certainly do. number one, too many people altogether and number two, everest has become a trophy for a lot of people. they're not really mountaineers and just sort of want to grab that trophy and they're not really qualified to be there in the first place. you shouldn't attempt everest unless you've done a lot of other mountaineering and proven yourself you can do that relatively safely. >> you want to do it again. >> i've been there six types. one time i was 900 feet from the summit and we turned around because of really bad conditions and i'm satisfied with that. i think i got what i needed and i really don't need that last 900 feet. >> good for you. glad you're here. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> with the good doctor, thanks very much. coming up, "gma

we are back with "gma investigates" payless car rental. it claims to offer deals at major airports across the country now facing the threat of a class action lawsuit and a new alert from the better business bureau. gio benitez here to show what happened when we rented from them. >> good morning. disputed fees, unsafe car, deposits customers never got back what some claim they experienced renting with payless. armed with hidden cameras we show you what happened when we rented four separate payless cars. take a look. >> how are you? >> reporter: "gma investigates" undercover renting cars from payless which claims it can help customers find the best deals on rental cars. how did one of our rentals end up towed after our expert mechanic said it was unsafe to drive. >> i would tell you, no, you can't drive it. >> reporter: we'll come back to

that. let's start with questions about fee, a big part of a proposed class action lawsuit filed after unhappy customers launched a facebook group claiming they were charged for services they say they didn't want. >> payless has used deceptive business practices in order to lure customers into the shop to rent their vehicles. >> reporter: lure customers. >> lure customers in and use low rates online to get people to use them over other rental agencies but when you get there they slam you with additional fees. >> reporter: richard alexander is one of the plaintiffs in that lawsuit. he says he rented a car from payless in vegas for a six-day family vacation. his online quote, 217 bucks. he says he was told he was getting a free upgrade. when he returned the car he was shocked. his total now $528 including fees and added insurance. >> i believe he was told two or three times i did not need this. >> reporter: we wanted to try payless ourselves. "gma investigates" renting four

at risk for heart disease. our senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton is here. okay. >> not good, right? let me tell you about it. it appeared in the journal of the american heart association and looked at three variables. metabolic syndrome, short sleep duration and then the risk of death from heart attack strokes and all causes. people who had metabolic syndrome already at risk if they slept less than six hours they had an increased risk of death, it doubled. so, again, these factors seem to be synergistically related. >> metabolic syndrome. more people have it than they know. >> they know. >> but they don't know what it is. >> exactly. this is so important, it is basically a constellation of symptoms. take a look at these risk factors including obesity, high cholesterol, including high triglycerides, insulin resistance if you're called prediabetic and high blood pressure. greater than 130 over 85.

the estimates are that 35 to 40% of the u.s. population has this. it's less well documented than other conditions but it's the most easy to modify so this is a wake-up call, be aggressive about diagnosing this, treating it and managing metabolic syndrome because it ups your risk of heart disease in we should look at sleep, talk about nutrition and exercise. sleep should be considered right along with that in no question. i think sleep has a massive pr problem in this country. we look at it as a luxury. it's a necessity. it doesn't make you lazy if you prioritize sleep, in fact as you said it has to be on the same level as good nutrition and good diet. >> you know, working, a lot of people -- >> we're in trouble. >> exactly. but just in general people working so many different ways and think they can make up your sleep. >> here's the bad news. don't shoot the messenger. you can't make up for your sleep on the weekends. if you get four hours during the week and say i'll leap 10 or 12 during the weekend that's not the same thing.

here's what i recommend, most adults need seven to nine hours every night. so take your wake-up time, back up the clock to seven hours and shut it down so you get that. best sleep environment is one that's cold and dark. you want to avoid caffeine and alcohol around two hours before you go to bed and if you have really disrupted sleep or you're not feeling good in the morning, you really should see a physician or a sleep medicine specialist and consider a sleep study to rule out something like sleep apnea. >> raise your hand if you're able to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. >> i have no social life so i go to sleep. >> you see people want to. but you just -- >> the problem is we consider it to be a luxury. it is one of the most important things you can do for your health. >> coming up we're taking you on an adventure. well, ginger is. a look inside disney's new pandora the world of after
