"this week" would become her home, co-anchoring the show with sam donaldson from 1996 until 2002. from there she would become a staple of abc news political coverage, interviewing presidents, politicians, and first ladies, embodying the idea of journalistic integrity and female empowerment. >> i hate to say it, jon, but it's a female thing. women do work together a lot. >> much more so than their husbands. >> much more so than men. >> thank you, thank you. >> reporter: she would write several "new york times" best sellers, recounting the untold and remarkable contributions of women in american history. >> when i started out in the world of work, it was illegal for women to become generals or admirals. so there's a huge change in the years that i've been plowing this turf. >> reporter: received countless awards, bye sighted as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting, and hold more than 30 honorary degrees, inspiring students with words at commencements all across the country. >> you must look at the institutions of government, politics, business, the academy, journalism, and hold them accountable to the people they are supposed to serve. >> reporter: in 2002, battling breast cancer and bravely facing going on the air wearing a wig. >> i felt going on the air in a wig that i looked really goofy and election night 2002 it was my best wig. it was the human hair wig, not the synthetic hair wig, and i thought it just looked awful, so i don't know, it's hard. >> reporter: cokie, always the inspiration for those who have the privilege and were blessed to work by her side. she made each one of her fellow colleagues better by always striving for the best and by always remembering and reminding us all to keep the compassion in journalism. >> thank you for your support. it's important. >> reporter: cokie roberts, the beloved mother of two, grandmother of six, and a legend to us all. >> and she is certainly going to be missed. i'm going to bring in now george stephanopoulos, of course a colleague and a friend. george, as you know, cokie never missed an election night, an inauguration, a political roundtable, a political special report and you were there alongside her for so much of it. >> i was thinking how much i missed her just last thursday at the debate. i actually e-mailed her a few hours before the debate saying i wish you were here, couldn't wait to hear your perspective on all the candidates. she shot right back to me saying how much she missed being there as well. but she was a fixture. she was a pioneer, and to go back to that phrase, she never really left the family business because the family business for cokie roberts for her family was not just politics but public service in the broadest sense of the word and she brought that spirit to her journalism. i mean, she really knew the world, knew that entire world so deeply from the inside. she knew the players. she knew the institutions, she knew how the system worked, and she had such a gift for translating that, for bringing that to all of our viewers, all of her listeners on npr, explaining what was going on in washington in a way that makes sense. that's why she was a fixture on all of our broadcasts, whether it was election night, midterm elections, state funerals, inaugurations, conventions. she knew everyone. she knew the issues. she knew it all. she delivered and she communicated with such a charm and everyone has said it, robin said it in her piece, i worked side by side with cokie for so many years as you saw in robin's piece. i've also had to face her sometimes and that wasn't always so much fun being on the other side of cokie roberts but what was always a pleasure and has always been a pleasure is just being by her side as a friend, as a colleague. infinite kindness, warmth. the first question would be how are your kids? she knew it was important and she communicated that. >> yes, her family was most important above and beyond all politics. george, thank you so much for those thoughts. i want to bring in long-time colleague and friend sam donaldson. i know you're joining us by phone. i would love to hear your thoughts, your fondest memories of cokie. >> well, what a loss. we think the great ones are always going to be there and when someone like cokie is gone, it's going to break our hearts whether we want it to or not. we all loved her. george has been correct in talking about her many skills. she was a great reporter. she knew washington. she was from new orleans. she was born in the capital, she said, and her father, hail boggs, majority leader for so long. lyndon johnson attended her wedding. she knew everybody in town. there's a side of her and you got a glimpse of it in the piece that we just heard, on the david brinkley show, cokie was a wonderful addition to that program, george, i and david, the guys, we needed her, and finally we got her. i'll never forget the day when john tower, then nominated to be secretary of defense, he was under heavy criticism from his critics on capitol hill though. he came to the brinkley show and announced without being asked -- we hadn't had a chance to do it -- that he would give up alcohol because people said he drank too much if he were confirmed. i said, senator, a lot of your critics say you're also a womanizer. he said what's a womanizer? i fumbled around and cokie spoke up and fixed him with a steely glare and said, senator, i know one when i see one. and i mean, he was punctured. she did so many things that were tough and take no prisoners. i recall another time, the clinton problem with the white house intern, mr. clinton's private lawyer, not his white house lawyer, came to the brinkley show one day and had to defend the fact that the clinton camp was saying oral sex was not sex because he had famously said he had had no sexual occasions with that woman. cokie looked at him and said, sir, you think you can convince your wife of that? once again, the poor guy, a very fine lawyer, got up during the break, tried to find the door and walked into one of the lights and almost knocked it over in the studio. >> she was certainly, sam, a voice and a perspective that this country needed and will always remember. we thank you for your thoughts of cokie roberts on this sad day. thank you so much. i want to bring in martha raddatz who worked alongside cokie roberts for nearly 30 years, martha. >> i did, amy, and her office riebt n right now is just down the hall from mine. she is just an extraordinary woman. george said, she knew it all but she was never a know-it-all. it was her office where you would go if you were having a bad day. it was her office if you wanted to talk about something personal. when cokie was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, she was asked if that gave her a new perspective. she said she didn't need one because family was always first, and it was always first. we spent a great deal of time talking about our grandchildren, talking about our children. the thing that strikes me is how cokie wanted to contribute until the very end. like george, i was in touch with her just days ago, last week, about the houston debate. she wanted to be there. she appeared on "this week" a month ago and it was clear she was having some health issues, but cokie said, i don't want this disease to get the better of me. well, i'll tell you, no disease will get the better of cokie roberts. she may have passed away but she was the best, amy. >> that is so true, martha. thank you for sharing those beautiful thoughts. i want to turn now to jon karl. i know you have so many memories of working with cokie roberts on those countless political convention floors. >> oh, absolutely. when i think of politics, i think of cokie roberts. when i came to abc news more than 15 years ago, i was in awe of cokie roberts. she was somebody that i admired, i watched growing up. i couldn't think of things like a national political convention without thinking of cokie roberts there on the floor, being more recognizable than the people that she was interviewing. she told me -- i interviewed her on the floor of the 2016 democratic convention. she told me it was her 22nd national political convention. i think that may be a record. but she was a mentor, a friend, incredibly generous colleague. just a little over a week ago she took my daughter emily out to lunch. that was cokie roberts, somebody who would reach out and mentor young journalists. she was certainly somebody that guided me through my first days at abc news. i miss her already. i love cokie roberts. >> thank you so much, jonathan, for sharing that. we want to bring in terry moran who also worked alongside cokie for so many years. terry, i want to hear your thoughts on this sad day. >> well, amy, she was a national treasure. cokie roberts, one of the great political journalists, and we experience that every day, that brilliant intelligence. as george pointed out, she brought that remarkable personal and family history. her dad was majority leader of the house of representatives. she knew everybody in washington for decades. as robin pointed out in the piece, that laugh, she brought a kind of sheer joy at the human comedy of american politics. she never lost a sense of fun about it all while never yielding to any kind of cynicism. she was an idealist, a fierce anticipa patriot. i also want to mention her faith. she was a devout catholic and those of us who worked with her on some of those stories know how important her faith was to her, how much she lived it. she was somebody who walked the walk of the gospels. one of the things you've heard a lot is how kind she was to everyone. i went through a hard time in my own life, in my own faith life, and i will never forget how cokie was so understanding and so warm and so supportive. and i am not the only one. she's not only a national treasure, she's one of the greatest human beings i've ever known and i'm not the only person who would say that. her loss is a very deep one for all of us who loved her, for those who watched her, and for the country i think. >> her kindness superceded all of her other many qualities. terry moran, thanks so much. i want to bring in senior congressional correspondent mary bruce. we've been talking about her kindness and certainly she was a champion of women and she was a mentor to you, was she not? >> amy, she was a mentor to me and to so, so many of us. when i was assigned to cover capitol hill, a role that she famously covered for more than a decade, she was the first person to reach out with advice and encouragement. when i came back to work after having my son, cokie was there, one of the first people with more advice and encouragement because her family was always, always the priority. cokie waslways there for me and so many other young women and men, pushing us to do better, not just supporting us but also pushing us in our reporting. she would often send out a note and fire back a couple questions trying to make our own reporting better. she never stopped questioning and her curiosity was simply limitless. just what an amazing example that set for all of us. as terry was saying, she found such great joy in covering all of it, especially capitol hill. she was very blunt about the fact that that was her side of washington. she loved congress. it was in her blood. she shared that joy with all of us. she understood uniquely, i think, how difficult it is to really roll up your stooeleeves create change in washington and that informed her reporting deeply. she had this intense sense of civic duty. she was raised with it and she fulfilled her civic duty through educating voters, through her very no nonsense style. that is the legacy that she leaves with me and a lesson that she has shared with so, so many of us at abc and throughout the reporting world. >> mary, real quickly, tell us what you'll miss most about cokie roberts. >> oh gosh. the quick notes of encouragement, but when she would always reach out and tell us, what about this, why is it -- that official, have you pushed him on this. she covered congress for so long and never stopped covering congress. she encged u to be better and also her advice about how to juggle it all, survive in washington, how to manage it. sitting next to her in the makeup room, the first question would be how is your family, how is everyone at home. she looked out for all of us and it's something that made not just abc but made all of us so much better. >> certainly true. i think truer words were never spoken. thank you for that, mary. we have lost a national treasure on this day and our hearts and our prayers and our thoughts go out toed fami the family of cok roberts. we are here to remember our incredible legacy. we return now to our regular programming. in some parts of the country that is "good morning america" and of course there will be a complete wrap-up tonight on "world news tonight" with david muir and you can get the latest at any time at abcnews.com. i'm amy robach here in new york. have a good day. >>> the stories you will tell will be special and different because of who you are. you can look at the world around you and learn from it every day.

[applause] >> good morning. i'm so excited to be here today to open up this new, incredible center for so many san franciscoans to enjoy for generations to come. you know, here in san francisco, we always talk about the future. well, the future is here right now and this ribbon cutting today of the world-class championship-winning golden state warriors who are going to bring the championship to san francisco. [applause] as governor newsome mentioned earlier, the vision of mission bay came forth when mayor willie brown was mayor at the time, although i still think he believes he's mayor. you remember that from when you were mayor, right? he had a vision. and the vision was to create a new neighborhood in mission bay. and this is just really the icing on the cake. never did we imagine we would have such an incredible center. but let me just tell you a little bit about the warriors and what they did to not just come to san francisco and build a facility. they decided to come home and continue to be a part of this community. by focusing on making sure that this center was not only built by the hands of labor, but it was built by san franciscoans. [applause] and that was so important because there are people right in this community who were looking for job opportunities and they, with j.p. morgan chase, created a training academy like citiville. but it was specifically for chase center. in fact, i was walk down the street in the tenderloin last years and ran into someone who was struggling. someone who needed a job opportunity and needed housing. the next day, josh arsay from the workforce development office picked him up personally in his car and brought him to the chase center training academy. he, along with 32 other people, graduated from that academy and i was able to go to that graduation. and on the same day, not only tell a.c. that starting next week he would be working on the chase center, but also his fellow graduates would be working on the chase center. [applause] it was absolutely incredible. this project and the doors that it opened, for opportunities to build but also for our small business community to succeed. in fact, you will enjoy the old school cafe, which is an incredible training ground for our young people in the bayview hunter point, working at former supervisor malia cohen worked on when she was supervisor to help provide opportunities for folks right in this community. small businesss that will be located right here at the chase arena. but they went even further and they made sure that local artists were a part of this incredible facility. not just in the bay area, but in san francisco. the incredible mosaic founded in the mission in 1977. it's just really a true testament to what makes san francisco so incredible. but they went even further because they knew that transportation was going to be at the forefront of everybody's thoughts. with 18,000 [inaudible] and thousands of employees and incredible basketball players that needed to get in and out of this space, what were we going to do to make sure that happened as efficiently as possible with over 200 events and games and all kinds of activities that would happen here? they put forward a $29 million investment in transportation, providing four new trains, providing an expanded platform, providing opportunities to work with us so that we have a ferry land, and ways to get people in and out of this space as efficiently as possible. [applause] and i want to thank all the folks who work on the transportation plan because what came out of our effort from last year is an incredible opportunity. with your ticket to any event, whether you are going to see beyonce or you are i don'ting to see the warriors, you can hop on muni for free. and i think that is absolutely outstanding and a commitment that the warriors have to making sure that this has been a successful center and it's open and available to all san franciscoans. that's what's absolutely incredible. so, i want to thank joe and peter for their leadership and their vision and i also want to really thank them for hiring rick. because let me tell you -- mimi is jumping up and down. she only jumps up and down for rick and that is because, i remember when me and jane kim and malia were here today, we were on the board of supervisor she only jumps up and down for rick and that is because, i remember when me and jane kim and malia were here today, we were on the board of supervisors and the work that we had to do and the process and what happens here and how rick in every single instance was basically actively engaged with wanting to be a part of the community. i'm so excited about the future. [applause] and last but not least, i want to say a few words about mayor ed lee because he was a real basketball fan and a true warriors fan. and this arena was something that he wanted to happen for san francisco. and so the work that he did, the obstacles that were overcome to allow something of this magnitude to happen and as was said before, you all know that with san francisco it is very challenging sometimes to get things done and get things built. but 100% privately financed, the work that had to go into the approval process, both state and locally, all that had to get done in order to make this a reality. every step of the way, mayor ed lee pushed for this project to happen and i know that we would not be here today had it not been for his incredible leadership. [applause] and i know he's smiling down on us today, anita. and we want to thank you so much for being here. and at 5 '7," you couldn't tell him he wasn't taller than any other basketball player on the court. and we are truly missing him today, but we know that he is here with us. thank you to all the city departments, all the different public safety officials, all the labor folks, all the people who worked hard to make this happen. this chase center will be an incredible asset for san francisco for generations to come and we're proud to make it a reality for so many people who deserve this incredible space. and i'll definitely be here when beyonce is performing. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, mayor breed. our next speaker is a person i've known for about 50 years, which is almost impossible because i'm only 39. [laughter] i'm actually surprised she is even here. according to my unconfirmed records, he has attended 91486 meetings about the new arena over the last several years working his magic behind the scenes and paving the way for this incredible moment today. he has been a part of many transformative events and league history during his hall of fame career. yes, i said hall of fame career. [applause] probably none more gratifying than the opening of chase center. ladies and gentlemen, warriors president and c.e.o. rick welts. [applause] >> you know, by my count, i think this is the 215th time we've been together in an nba event. we never really had one like this, though, have we? oh, my. former mayor, senator dianne feinstein took a special interest in this project. mayor willie brown, thank you for your guidance. your advice. mayor mark farrell, a wonderfully unapologetic warriors fan. now you greet me with your trademark big greek kifmsz i'm not sure which is more challenging. [laughter] to our friends in labor from day one, you saw the impact this project would have on jobs and the quality of life in our region and you gave us your support. as many as 1600 union workers a day brought their talent, dedication and pride to this project. [applause] thanks to each of you and thanks to the president of the san francisco labor council. so many legendary leaders in san francisco helped me, this fairly new bay area resident learn the impossible nuances of politics in this place we call home. in particular, don burton and mimi silver. thank you for befriending me and sharing your wisdom. [applause] thanks to ucsf for your spirit of cooperation and community. we want to be great neighbors. we needed critical state legislation to get this project completed and that was a heavy lift. thanks to assembly member phil chang, mark leno, assembly member david chiu. then senator pro tem and now mayor of sacramento, daryl steinberg and speaker of the assembly john paris. they worked together and showed incredible leadership in sacramento when we needed it most. back here in san francisco, we needed the support of the entire board of supervisors and, in particular, former supervisor jane kim. who always provided invaluable advice while looking out for all of her constituents here in district six. and supervisor matt haney who, today, represents district six. to the attorney dennis serara and his staff, especially jesse smith. [applause] san francisco travel. you were with us from day one. san francisco police department and chief bill scott. the san francisco fire department and chief janine nicholson with a special shout-out to the recently retired chief. [applause] the sfmta is key to us fulfilling our promise to be a transit-first destination, lead by director tom mcwater and his predecessor. virtually every city department and every member of the leadership team touched this project in so many ways. thank you all. we're very proud of the community process today. thanks to the business and residential neighbors who attended countless meetings and provided feedback. thanks to the ocii commissioners, the staff and thed executive director and her staff. the mission bay citizens advisory committee. thank you for your tireless work. to the san francisco giants for welcoming us to the neighborhood. thanks to david manicka and will hoff for designing this incredible building and to our general contractors for building it. and just thanks to steve codda, jason elliott, p.j. johnson, sean elsburn, seth boxer and mary murphy. and then there is our amazing staff, my teammates. enjoy this day. every one of you should be proud, knowing that you have a piece of this moment. i'm proud to be your teammate. in a city that doesn't spend tax dollar on sports facilities, founding partners take on an even more important role. building a privately financed arena would not be possible without them. at the top of that list is j.p. morgan chase. more than three and a half years ago, chase and the warriors had a shared vision and resulted in a 20-year partnership to call this building chase center. in addition to chase, since then, we have announced a list of our founding partners who, without them, this simply would not be possible. we gather here today as part of our kaiser permanente community-based partnership. our founding partners, google cloud, h.p.e., oracle, pepsi, rakuten, ticketmaster, united airlines and verizon. together, with all of our other partners in attendance, we wants to thank you for creating this community gathering place and this performance venue that will transform the bay area. now in closing, i'd like to acknowledge a few individuals who began this journey with us that are not here to see the ultimate success of their contributions. just this past april, we lost corinne woods, the legendary community advocate and chairperson at mission bay citizens advisory committee. all of us live half in fear and half in awe of corinne. she shaped so much of this project with her efforts. [laughter] the governor mention 2014 jennifer macs lost her heroic fight with pancreatic cancer. she was the point guard for this project and the city. and her energy, intellect and personality left an indelible impact on all of us who knew her. when that new bayfront pack opens next year, jenbe remembered with a trail named in her honor. [applause] faintly, it seems to be on a lot of our minds today. i want to acteneding no j -- acknowledge our friend and leader, san francisco mayor ed lee. it was ed lee who invited the warriors back to san francisco and it was ed lee who called this his legacy project. without ed lee, we would not be here today. his warmth, smile, his laughter made him so approachable and so genuine. he loved san francisco and the people here and we love mayor lee. let's take another look at his life. >> the san francisco mayor ed lee continues to live on and thrive. it's a legacy that extends far beyond politics and reaching far beyond the bay area. even if you're unfamiliar with the beloved san francisco mayor, chances are his life has affected your life. for many, ed lee is remembered for being the first asian-american politician elected mayor of a major american city. but this accomplishment overshadows a long and productsive career spent advocating f

jen: what are some of the areas that you looked at, and what are some of your conclusions? thomas: thanks, jen. i tried to look at all of it. because i spent a lot of time in the pentagon in particular, and modernization and was a general there, i probably wrote more and more about those problems with which i was most familiar. at equipment modernization, i looked at the talent management of general officers, i looked at the concept. i will admit, i am not a conceptual person, so i did my best. i reached out to a lot of people, including some people in this room, for their thoughts. i've had to go to interviews because i don't live in a conceptual world. there's a whole group that's almost a career field in the army that thinks about concepts. i was never in that group. so i had to talk to those kinds of people to better understand that. by and large, my conclusion that i reached fairly early on was that the army was on the right path. and that a wholesale revision of the army's modernization plan was not needed, there was course corrections. i saw some areas where the tapestry was fraying around the edges and they could tighten up their story and tighten up their justifications for things. some places where i could not frankly understand why they were pursuing a particular modernization program to the degree they were, long-range fallsgic canons calls -- in that category. i did my best to understand, but there could be things that are classified and they were not able to share with me. another example of that is the requirements for the optionally manned fighting vehicle. i did my best to understand them only to find out near the end that they are classified fouo and i couldn't get them. i couldn't fully explore why the army was pursuing that vehicle to the degree it was. i looked at manpower. how big should the army be, how quickly should they grow their force? and i looked at organizations. what kind of organizations do they have now and what should they grow in the future? and i found some areas where i think they should develop some new organizations. jen: diving a little bit more into the modernization side, and using to think they are on track, but this is obviously a complicated thing and they are moving quickly. there is probably a lot of room for error at this point. it sounds like since it's early on, course correction could be a good thing. what are some of the future challenges they could be facing in executing modernization plans? thomas: there's lots of challenges. one of the first things i figured out is i looked at the history and luck plays an underappreciated factor. you could have the best thought out and conceived plan, and if the world environment changes in -- and your army needs to go do something, fight a fight, you are not able to modernize to a degree you need. maybe you could salvage some aspects of the modernization program, but you will not be able to carry out the plan you had envisioned. looking back, you can see that did not occur in some cases. the army kept driving on, thinking that whatever we were fighti

jen. >> do you know her, or no? >> i do not know jen. >> okay. as i understand it, she has shown in the video saying, and this is a quote, elizabeth warren is saying that we should break up google. and, like, i love her. but she's very misguided. like that will not make it better. it will make it worse. because all these smaller companies who don't have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next trump situation. it's like a small company cannot do that. do you think it's google's job to, quote, prevent the next trump situation? >> thank you, senator. i don't agree with that. no, sir. >> so a different individual, a whistleblower identified simply as an insider at google with knowledge of the algorithm is quoted on the same report as saying google, quote, is bent on never letting somebody like donald trump come to power again. do you think it's google's job to make sure, quote, somebody like donald trump never comes to power again? >> no, sir, i don't think that is google's job, and we build for everyone, including ever

jen fighters. when the secretary went through his confirmation hearing, he mentioned that 100 fifth jen fighters that can reach three commands areas within hours would give the united states extreme strategic reach. will you commit to working with me on that decision? this committee has laid out guidelines for the air force in terms of basing a kc 46. >> absolutely, senator. >> let me ask a question that relates to readiness. mr. secretary, the chairman to his credit has raised this readiness issue quite a lot. from 2010 until 2015 the department of defense budget was cut by 25%. my first three months in the senate in 2015 the obama administration was still cutting 50,000 additional active-duty army troops which, in retrospect looks like a strategically idiotic decision, but they did it anyways. have you read this book? the army and marine corps gives it to all infantry officers. >> yes, sir. twice. >> i appreciate that. can you talk a little bit about readiness and what happened in america in 1945? we had the most feared military in the history of the world. five years later we could not stop a thir

jen, very much. >>> now, ginger, what about your first day here? >> 2011. so not too, it was eight years, just before jenorecast for the midwest which i was really happy about and i remember i watched the clip earlier and said the word yummy so i don't know. i said it was a yummy forecast so -- it was, it was a warm day after thanksgiving. i guess that works but it's been a beautiful eight years, so happy to still be here today and so happy to be with all of you so let's go ahead and get a >>> now to a special "deals & steals." we are celebrating 20 years of "gma" in times square with 20 incredible deals. >> should we start right here with nest. >> one of our favorites. gorgeous. you can't but it's gorgeous. >> so good. this is one of absolutely fan favorites this is the nest collection. we've got for home, candles, diffusers online, perfume, roller ball, body creams, so many different fragrances, everyone around here is grabbing it. gorgeous. normally $27 to $24. today it is slashed at least in half, it starts at $8. >> i thought everybody smelled better around here today. you smell good. >> exactly. >>

jen mcadam, from glasgow, invested the money left to her after her dad died — in onecoin. that's a cryptocurrency scheme that turned out to be an international multi—billion pound fraud. and jen wasn't alone, as a new bbc sounds podcast investigating the scam estimates 50,000 british people invested in the company. its founder, doctor ruja, has been missing since 2016 despite being hunted by the fbi. we can chat about this more now withjen — who's here with us — and jamie bartlett, who's been running the investigation into onecoin and is fronting the bbc podcast. jen in onecoin? we were told that it's the value of it, once you purchased, the packages, a £5,000 package, when you bought it, turned into digital currency value of 48,000, that's how it was approached to you. which sounds like an amazing financially life changing, for many people. you were also told that one coin was the bitcoin colour and you saw how bitcoin rose in value and they put it to you that this was the time for early adopters to invest in one coin because it was going to be the number one crypto currency globally. how did you even hear about this? it was through a friend who knew i wanted to invest the amount that my father left me. over amount that my father left me. over a couple of months you are talking to friends about it and that's why they started to think we want to invest as well. i was ecstatic to think that this investment was going to change my life, and my family ‘s life. jamie, what is a crypto currency? a lot of people have heard of bitcoin because it's gone up
