7:01 am
talking. jared kushner's voice, why his rare public moment getting so much reaction. new tension with north korea after the american student held captive, otto warmbier, dies at the age of 22, less than a week after returning home with extensive brain damage. president trump condemning that country. >> it's a brutal regime. we'll be able to handle it. >> warmbier's parents reacting overnight. and up for parole. o.j. simpson ready to ask for his freedom again. is the former nfl star serving 33 years about to go free? what o.j.'s life is behind bars right now and the thee things he wants to do if he gets to leave prison. one of his closest friends speaking out on "gma." >> we do say good morning, america. great to have david with us here this week as george takes a
7:02 am
vacation and this tuesday morning busy and watching severe weather coast to coast. >> and summer officially starts tonight and there are dangerous wi wildfires you can see in the southwest, so hot they're grounding flights. >> canceled flights. take a look at this time lapse to show a severe storm moving into new york city. robin is just drying off now. >> i got caught in that. in just the last few minutes we're tracking more weather, severe weather into the day. ginger has the latest. >> not just the fires and severe weather but this disturbance in the gulf mexico because, yes, we are in the middle of hurricane season that we'll get to, more than 170 severe storm report, so many stuck on runways and obviously like robin stuck in that storm. an east coast deluge. more than 2,000 flights canceled. up to 2 inches of rain filling manhattan roads. this time lapse showing the storm plaza cross the city. surveillance video in delaware
7:03 am
shows debris flying as gusts up to 64 miles per heir blew through. >> i room getting home early so i can beat the storm. they said something about hail and all that. i don't need that in my life right now. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., trees burying cars. >> i woke up to a loud bang and plaster in my room. >> reporter: west of the rockies, the story is heat. at least 20 large wildfires california to colorado, 118-degree temperatures grounding air travel in phoenix. and a deadly dust storm in new mexico causing a 25-car pileup at the arizona state line so as you see these excessive heat warnings pop up on the map. you're thinking why is that? the air is thin so you'd need a lot more speed to get the plane up or along a longer runway which they don't have. san francisco, and numbers on the map approach all-time records in phoenix and if it
7:04 am
hits that number, it's not pretty. more coming up on the potential for flop r tropical storms. >> i'm from the heat. that one yesterday when you could see it coming at you, it was something else. >> came out of nowhere. to that tragedy involving american student otto warmbier. he died on monday after returning home with extensive brain injury from north korea. some are calling for a travel ban to that country and martha raddatz has all the details for us this morning. good morning, martha. >> reporter: it remains a mystery what caused the blood supply to otto warmbier's brain to be cut off causing the severe damage to the brain of this bright, curious young man but u.s. official, members of congress and his parents say there is no question it was the fault of the regime of kim jong-un. otto warmbier, the 22-year-old who returned to the u.s. less than a week ago, unable to walk,
7:05 am
speak or respond to verbal commands. suffering extensive brain damage after being held captive in north korea for 17 months. passing away monday. in a statement, his family says when he was carried off that airplane last week he looked very uncomfortable, almost anguished. but that within a day the countenance of his face changed. he was at peace. he was home and we believe he could sense that. the only glimpse of otto while he was detained by north korea was this courtroom video. he was wearing that ivory colored jacket, pleading for leniency after being charged with trying to steal a propaganda poster. after his release otto's father finding comfort wearing his son's jack. i'm able to wear the jacket that
7:06 am
he wore when he gave his confession. >> reporter: it is unclear what caused the university of virginia student to suffer what the doctors called unresponsive wakefulness but the warmbiers are place the blame on north korea saying the awful, tortuous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the north koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced. president trump condemning north korea's brutal regime and treatment of warmbier. >> a lot of bad things happened. but at least we got him home to be with his parents. it's a brutal regime and we'll be able to handle it. >> reporter: there are three other americans still being held by the north koreans, but otto's death could push congress or the administration to begin restricting travel there, robin. >> people want to know what elsy what other action will the u.s.
7:07 am
take? >> senator john mccain is calling it a murder which the u.s. should not tolerate. others in congress are saying the same and secretary of state rex tillerson says that the u.s. holds north korea accountable for his imprisonment but so far there is no indication the administration is planning any sort of retaliation but that is complicated, robin, by the fact the three other americans are still there. >> we have to keep them in our hearts. >> you feel for them. we want to turn to other developments out of washington. the senate health care bill growing tense as they went past midnight protesting the lack of open hearings. they want to pass it before july 4th. democrats say it's been shrouded in secrecy. that high-stakes special election in georgia and voters going to the polls in the most expensive house race ever in a republican district where president trump won by a slim
7:08 am
margin over hillary clinton. a lot of pressure on both sides for republicans to trying to hold on to the seat. for democrat, a real test of whether they'll be able to capitalize on the turmoil in d.c. >> reporter: that's right, david. a mountain of importance has been placed on one this congressional race. we're outside the polling place where karen handel casts her vote hoping to win a seat that republicans have held on to for decades. her opponent is trying to make history and upset a president. more than $50 million is how much these two candidates have spent fighting over voters in the suburbs of atlanta. >> good to see you. >> reporter: making this the most expensive congressional race ever. >> hi. >> reporter: for supporters of republican karen handel it doesn't matter that across the country many on the left see today's vote as a referendum on the president. >> does it influence your thought on this as all?
7:09 am
>> no i'm a karen supporter and trump supporter too. >> reporter: jon ossoff usually avoids the issue in public but his supporters aren't sly saying fighting the president has united democrats across the city. >> it galvanized. >> there are folks across the eight and country who have lost faith and in this room this team has the power to help restore some of that faith. >> hi, georgia. san francisco just wanted to say thank you. >> reporter: groups supporting karen handel have spent their money underlying how ossoff got his large pile of case outside the state. >> we have nancy pelosi as our congresswoman. now you'll give us jon ossoff as our congressman. >> the square will get a lot of votes if he has $30 million behind him. >> the president is pointing out ossoff doesn't live in the 6th and can't even vote in the
7:10 am
district he wants to represent. ossoff explains that he doesn't live in this district because he's with his girlfriend, who is a student at emory university and wants to live closer to campus and the president is up again this morning handlering him on this issue. robin. >> that he is, all right, steve, thank you. more now on the health care bill and democrats launching a mar tho marathon protest and mary bruce was there as many were. >> reporter: it was an all-nighter as democrats are railing against republicans for writing their health care bill behind closed doors this. is legislation that could dramatically roll back the expansion of medicaid and change the way americans get their coverage. but there have been no hearings and no open debris. now republican leaders insist they've been working on it for years and plenty of debate in the past but democrats say they are going to use every single procedural tool they have
7:11 am
available to them to try to delay the fight and force republicans to bring their bill out into the open. even though though don't have the political power to actually block republicans. >> and senate republicans say they want to get this done before they go home for the july 4th recess. how is that looking. >> reporter: authorized to get that done they have just nine legislative days left to pull it off. republicans insist they're getting closer and making progress and a vote next week still possible but seen no legislation. >> mary bruce, up late and up early this morning for us. thank you. >> hard working as always. let's bring in jonathan karl. you got the white house tracking this white house fight and democrats ang new over secrecy and the president tweeting about that close race in georgia. a lot at stake even for him. >> reporter: it is only 1 seat out of 435 in the house of representatives but a hugely
7:12 am
significant race, david. this is a congressional seat that has been republican in republican hands since before the democratic candidate was born. it was newt gingrich's seat so a loss for republicans would be a real warning sign what would happen next year in the midterm electrics and the most expensive race, diana, david, by my count more than half a dozen presidential tweets on this race in the last 24 hours. >> that means we know someone else is watching closely. a lot of talk on social media on something we have not much on before, his voice. here he was talking to technology leaders. take a listen. >> before i came to washington, many warns me that the bureaucracy would resist any change that we tried to implement. so far i have found exactly the opposite. >> jon, even had a field day hearing what kushner soubs like. why now?
7:13 am
>> it's miss that we are hearing from him the first time after five months in office. he has a hugely significant job here, david. he was speaking yesterday because he brought in those technology leaders. amazon, microsoft, apple. all here as part of his initiative to modernize the federal government. later this week he is going to the middle east to work on peace and speaking because these are important projects. he really needs to be out there. one of the more important things we have heard more from the secretive jared kushner in the past 24 hours than from the white house press connect. >> what's going on. >> we didn't hear from sean spicer yesterday. no cameras or audio allowed. will it continue today? >> i looked at the press schedule today there is not even a briefing on the schedule so yesterday news organizations were not allowed to record the voice of sean spicer or show
7:14 am
video of him briefing the press, now he's apparently not even going to brief. like the disaprioring press second. quite extraordinary, david. >> going to face a lot of questions. jon karl, our thanks to you again as always. michael. >> thank you david. now the new images showing the al baghdadimath of that mysterious crash at sea between a u.s. navy destroyer and a cargo ship and good morning to you, matt. >> reporter: good morning. this is one of the navy's worst at sea disasters in years and one thing certainly investigated how that sophisticated sip got so blind of sided but the crew of that container didn't stop to help after nearly sinking it. this morning exclusive new images of the battered container ship. that is new details come in about that hellish night and "uss fitzgerald"'s captain was asleep in his cabin when 0,000
7:15 am
acx crystal plowed into the ship's top decks. beseethe the water line the container ship's bulbous bow punched through the destroyer's steel armor. the "fitzgerald" was flooding and the navy is investigating but some of the seven men found dead in that flooded bert were alive when it was sealed off in an effort to keep it from sinking. is there protocol for that? >> mentality is that you're going to fight any catastrophe and casualties where they occur and preserve the integrity of the rest of the ship. i guarantee everybody would do everything they could. >> reporter: instead of stopping to help multiple trackers show the container ship continues on its original course for 30 minutes. only then turning back to the scene and didn't alert authorities until 50 minutes after. the remains land back in the
7:16 am
u.s. darryl martin lost his son xavier. >> it's very hard. my only child. that's all i have. >> the parent ship's container company says it is complying with the investigation but the company couldn't explain what certainly seems like a hit-and-run on the high seas. why the ship kempt going for seven miles before making that u-turn and waited nearly an hour before calling authorities about what happen. >> michael. than thank you. amy, you're here with the other stories. >> in fact it's being called the largest breach of personal data of its kind. detailed information of about 198 million registered voters here in the united states has been dentally exposed on line by a data firm working for the republican party. the leak was exposed by a cybersecurity expert. names, address, phone numbers

7:21 am
with less of your body's natural blood-clotting function. for afib patients well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures... ...and before starting xarelto®-about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. it's important to learn all you can... ...to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know™. so we got our new he washing machine but it took forever turns out it wasn't the machine, it was our detergent. so we switched to tide turbo clean. now we get way cleaner clothes way faster

7:35 am
floors, he was coaching the prisoners, et cetera, those are the sorts of things you can expect to hear this time around. >> what are the factors? there's a formula almost they look at. >> there are 11 factors and there's a plus and minus for each one so ends up getting a score at the end and they relate to everything from the crime itself, his behavior in prison, his gender, his age, the enact that he's almost 70 years old will work to his advantage so you have a whole list of them with plus and minus to each one. if you look at what happened in 2013, you would say, huh. same factors are going to be applied here except for the crime itself. you would think that he's got a pretty good shot except the fact that he's o.j. simpson has just got to play into this in some way, shape or form. >> these people are human. and even though he is supposed to be held accountable for the crime he was convicted of how can they not think about his
7:36 am
previous arrest, even though he was acquitted. >> well, that's right. that's a critical question because in theory i mean reality, his previous criminal history is a relevant factor in determining whether he gets parole but he has no criminal history because he was acquitted in the criminal case. and that's what drives people like the goldman family that you just saw there crazy is the idea you're telling me he gets to have no criminal history when assessing whether he's going to be up for parole? so, look, i think this time will be a little different. last time the parole board knew he wasn't going to be released no matter what. but, you know, as i said before, if this were just looking at the crime and just looking at the guy and the factors i think he probably would be released. >> but it's o.j. simpson. >> yeah and they have a lot of discretion. >> dan, thanks. we'll see what happens. david. coming up here a pastor dying on a treasure hunt for a
