That security . And we do say good morning, america. Its not the first time that that guy on the red carpet has pulled Something Like that. Not at all. This is the same guy that kissed will smith about a year ago, right . Shes done it several times. We have a lot of news to get to this morning. First, lets get the latest on the stunning setback on the search for the missing malaysia jet. David kerley has been tracking this mystery from the start. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. This is a major setback and a big embarrassment. The first big embarrassment for the australians in the search for this missing 777. Theyve wrapped up the underwater search. And say they do not believe that the vehicle, the 777, is actually in that area. This means the black box pings the australians thought they heard, apparently are not real. On wednesday, or this morning, the australian transport safety board said, quote, in its professional judgment, the area can now be discounted as the final resting place for mh370. The place theyve been searching for weeks. It is an embarrassment for the Royal Australian navy because its acoustical Lab Confirmed those springs as from the black boxes. And sonar scanners will not be back in the water probably until august, probably, to look for the wreckage. Why the delay . Reporter they dont have the equipment in place yet. Right now, a chinese ship is doing a general topographical map of the ocean bottom. Then, they want to bring in a contractor to look for wreckage. But they have to make a deal with the private contractor to do that. So far this morning, they havent made a deal. And once they do start to do the work, george, it could take a year to look over this area for that wreckage. Another year. And still a mystery. Okay, davis, thanks very much. Wow, increditly frustrating especially for the families. Now, to the deadly rampage in Santa Barbara and new insight into the killer. The parents of elliot rodger, giving their side of the story through a family friend. And, amy, you spoke to this person. So many people are asking what could have led this young man to take the lives of 6 innocent people and injure 13 others. So, yesterday, i spoke with close family friend and author, Simon Astaire who knew Elliott Rodger since he was a little boy and witnessed his parents struggle to raise him first hand. When i saw them yesterday, they have diminished in size. Theyre crippled with pain. You said they are mourning the innocent lives that were taken, more than their own sons life. Its true. Every part of it. Talking about that. Not about their son. Reporter horror, not just gripping the u. C. Santa barbara campus friday night, but also overcoming Elliott Rodgers mother. She was mile as way when she first laid eyes on the the m manifesto. She read the first four lines. And it she knew something was wrong. She automatically went to youtube. She watched 30 seconds of the video. And immediately rang elliots father. And she said, you have to look at this youtube video, retribution. It all has to come to this. And he said, we have to get there. We have to get to Santa Barbara. As theyre driving up there, they know intrinsically, somethings wrong with elliot. And then they start to hear us on the radio, the news slashers, that a black bmw was involved, and the mass shooting. Reporter rodgers parents, unable to face the cameras yet, offering a written statement, instead. We are crying in pain for the victims and their families. It breaks our heart on a level that we didnt think possible. The feeling of knowing that it was our sons actions that caused the tragedy can only be described as hell on earth. Was elliot close with his parents . You know, he was a very removed, remote child. Now, i remember on one particular occasion, i went to a party of theirs. I walked out. And he was there on the street, all alone. I thought he was the loneliest person ive ever seen in my life. He was an odd child. He hesitated. He shook when you met him. Do you know if elliot was on any medication . I understand he was on xanax in the last six months. And i think doctors have offered to put him on medication before. Like a year ago. And i dont know the legal side, you see. But i know he refused to take it. On a daytoday basis, would you say elliots parents were concerned about him . Yes. Every day. Every day. I think their fears fundamentally, deep down, was that he was going to take his own life. Elliots mother had reached out before. Policed showed up to his apartment. And now, theres an investigation whether or not the correct actions were taken. Theres no blame to the police, whatsoever, because elliot fooled everyone for a very, very long time. He fooled me. He fooled his family. He fooled everyone who saw him. He was a tragic figure. And now, when i talk about him, i talk about him knowing what he did. He is, in many ways, a monster. And simon told us that elliots father said he spoke to his son on thursday. That was the day before the shooting. And elliot had told his father he would be joining his family for lunch on saturday, the day after the shooting. And oddly, the father said that his son seemed happier than usual. Really . And he had no indication that anything was wrong. An incredibly tragic story. Such a chilling portrait. It is because no one knew. He really kept it hidden. He did not display any anger ever in his life. So it was so shocking to him. Were going to move to the growing scandal at the v. A. A damning, new report confirms that nearly 2,000 veterans were, quote, lost, in the health care system, never put on a waiting list for care. And the outrage grew on capitol hill. Abcs jon karl is in washington. Jon, the calls for v. A. Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign have been climbing by the hour. Reporter thats right, george. The drum beat is getting louder. Theres 58 members of congress, many of them democrats, who have called on shinseki to go. Alltold, 1,700 vets were found to be on secret waiting lists at the phoenix v. A. And at risk of being lost or forgotten. According to the v. A. s internal watchdog, the veterans were forced to wait an average of 115 days to get a first appointment. While the hospital kept secret lists to conceal how long it took to get care. And it gets worse. Investigators say the problem is systemic throughout the v. A. Now, some 42 v. A. Health centers around the country are under investigation. Do you solemnly swear reporter at a hearing last night, members of congress unloaded on senior v. A. Officials, demanding answers. The only thing thats clear right now is that theres 40 brave soldiers that served their country proudly that died while waiting on a list. Whats unclear is how much further this goes. Reporter the calls for secretary shinseki to resign are louder than ever. These allegations are not just administrative problems. These are criminal problems. Reporter democrats are calling for shinsekis head, as well. President obama promised accountability after meeting with shinseki last week. I have said to rick, i want to see what the results of these reports are. And there is going to be accountability. Reporter shinseki has a deadline of tomorrow to give the president his own report on the v. A. s problems and his plan to fix them. But white house Officials Say the president s patience is running out. Theres a clear sense here at the white house, george, that shinseki is on thin ice. Jon, thanks very much. Now, back to amy with the mornings other top stories. Good morning. We begin with another close call between two planes in american air space. This time, an Alaska Airlines boeing 737 like this one. They were given orderers to turn to avoid a cargo plane that was just taking off. But the cargo plane veered in the same direction over fire island, coming within four seconds of colliding.

Soon frappier found himself stuck, unable to move up or down. He had a new granola bars but ran out of water, forced to spend the night on a rocky ledge in freezing temperatures, wearing only a tshirt. How cold was it . Extremely cold. Extremely all night. As i said, it was awful. Reporter remarkably, his cell phone worked. He called park rangers for help. It can be very dicey on longs peak. Youre dealing with winds. Sometimes almost different weather patterns up there. Reporter the incredibly steep mountainside at first made a Helicopter Rescue impossible. Finally, frappier made it off the ledge. It was a stupid idea to go there. Reporter a stupid idea . Yeah. Reporter for good morning america, clayton sandell, abc news, estes park, colorado. Glad he is back safe and sound.

Reporter townsend is not the first female tennis star to face criticism about weight, including lindsay davenport. Townsend said focusing on her body helped her to become a better player. It was a huge plus for me. I started working really hard, trying to get in the best shape i can be for my body. Shes a living example of someone who has heard all of that criticism and dealt with it.

Reporter gma investigates conducted two demonstrations. Lets go. Reporter showing Response Times to smoke alarms in very real fire scenarios. Its getting smoky in there. When buying a smoke alarm, you may not know theres two types on the market. Ionization, and photoelectric, which are quicker in detecting smoldering fires. 90 of homes have only ionization alarms. Doug believes he paid the ultimate price. He lost his daughter, julie, a senior at Miami University of ohio in a house fire in 2005. 11 students were sleeping when a smoldering fire broke out. Eight survived. There were 17 ionization smoke detectors in the house. Its not like the landlord didnt care about fire safety. He had no idea there was a difference. Reporter we asked the northeastern ohio Fire Prevention convention to conduct a demonstration, buying six leading alarms from six manufacturers. Two ionization, two photoelectric.

But no ionization alarms. Mike, its getting hard to see you, man. Conditions in here are worsening. Reporter i cant see you on the wide shot. Visibility is minimal. And the conditions are now lifethreatening. We have to get you out of that environment now. Reporter after 1 10, the fire chief deems the house unsafe for the firefighters. If you were in that smoke, you wouldnt survive very long. Reporter a government study in 2004 found similar results. Photoelectrics 30 minutes before ionizations. Two of the biggest alarm manufacturers told us their alarms meet industry standards. But for optimal protection, recommend consumers use both types of alarms. And thats the key. Now, the Consumer Products Safety Commission says it is actively working to improve the Safety Standards so that both alarms, here they are right here, that they work faster and better in both types of fires. And check that expiration date. A lot of people dont know that. They have an expiration date. Im going to be checking mine. I didnt know there were two detectors.

Shes actually a beauty queen with dreams of one day becoming miss america. Abcs linzie janis has her story. Reporter this is the outfit that won 23yearold keli kryfko one of her many pageant crowns and sashes. But kryfko, the reigning miss south texas, says she hasnt always looked like a beauty queen. Nine years ago, at just 14 years old, she tipped the scales, weighing around 230 pounds. I had a learning disability. And i just felt that i was inferior to others. I would really depend on food just to kind of comfort me. Reporter her aha moment, failing a physical fitness test in the eighth grade. I overheard some girls say, can you believe that the fat girl couldnt do any of it . Reporter thats when kryfko decided to change her life. I took a stand and said, you know, enough is enough.

Reporter in just a few weeks, kryfko will compete for the miss texas crown, hoping to one day become miss america. She also hopes that her story will inspire others. I would just tell people that, youre not imprisoned by the current circumstances. You can be empowered by them. Reporter for good morning america, linzie janis, abc news, new york. Great message. Yeah. She did it the right way. Dan abrams at the table. That means its time for the jurys out. What do you have today, dan . We have a lot of big topics today. Lets start with a new survey from Parents Magazine that found that 71 of parents think its okay for kids to play with toy guns. As a kid, i played with cap guns. I played with water guns. And i think that im okay with my kid playing, for example, with water guns. My kids have water guns. Not a problem . Not a big deal. I dont like the realistic ak47s too much. But a water gun. I think everybodys okay. I never let my kids have any type of toy guns. No squirt guns, no cap guns, no toy guns. No toys that represent a killing machine. I understand the feeling. But realistically a water gun is not a killing machine. Stacy its all about parental involvement and guidance. Water guns are a lot of fun. We all played with them and most of us did not grow up to be violent criminals. Not a lot of debate here. I wanted to swap that out. But, alberto, well talk about that later. Next. Oh, wow. A mesa, arizona, high school, under fire for dedicating two pages in its yearbook to teens who are pregnant or parents. Many saying there are other accomplishments that should be celebrated in the yearbook. And they glamorize teen pregnancy. Whats your take . I think its fine. I have no problem with the idea. These are probably kids who have a lot Harder High School experience because they were pregnant. Because they had kids. And i think celebrating them in the yearbook is okay. And the school is very clear that they were not glamorizing them. It was more of just showing that these are kids, under some really tough circumstances, theyre still in school. Trying to get that education. I think thats is something to celebrate. I can see where others would really interesting story. But youre 0 for 2. I know. This one lets quickly go to social because thats where we do get disagreement, yeah. Although, dorothy agrees. I dont think it glamorizes teen pregnancy. It shows that everyone can overcome all obstacles and make the most of their lives, no matter the circumstance. And then, we have kathy, are they saying its an accomplishment . Teen pregnancy doesnt seem to be something a school would want to highlight. Women driving while pregnant. Were not going to have disagreement. Im going to say it at the outset. Its interesting. I hope we have a good discussion. But i dont think its going to be a lot of disagreement. Women driving while pregnant, apparently getting into far more accidents, according to a new study in the Canadian Medical Association journal. The second trimester, apparently the most dangerous. They called it, their quote, not mine, foggy pregnancy brain. So should any driving restrictions be placed on pregnant women . I say, dont let them drive. No. Im just kidding. We have to have disagreement here. So, i have to say something. Pregnant women are prone to anger. Just letting you know. How would you enforce that . Come on. What if youre driving yourself to the hospital because youre about to give birth . Its interesting its the second trimester. Apparently, the first trimester theyre particularly careful. Not quite as careful in the second trimester. But in the third trimester, they get more careful again. You just cant move that much. Youre just very much in one place. I would say after you have the baby, you get baby brain. Are we going to restrict all mothers . I know that. I had baby brain. We have one study caveat on this one. We did a flash poll on this one, too. Youre going to be shocked by the results. Mariana says, if you want to provide chauffeur service, restrict me. Michelle. I had many unpleasant side effects during my pregnancies. I didnt have foggy pregnant brain behind the wheel. In our flash poll we asked, should there be driving restrictions on pregnant drivers . 12 said yes. Id like to invite those 12 on to the program to take the position and debate because im not going to. Very, very wise, dan abrams. Thank you again for the jurys out. We want to go outside to michael.

Good morning, im kristen sze. San Francisco Police are investigating a bizarre accident at a gas station. A man is in Critical Condition after getting pinned under a car around 3 30 this morning. According to the gas station attendant, the driver and his passenger were changing a tire and talking to the man who walked by. All three appeared to be drunk. When the man passed out the passenger asked the attendant to call 911. The driver apparently panicked over the possibility of getting a dui, backed up and ran over the man. Police took the driver into custody. Lets see if drivers are being safe on the roadways. That could be argued. As we take you right over to the golden gate, we do have this, an armored truck that ran into the number 5 toll lane southbound side of the golden gate right at the toll plaza. In fact lets take a live look at it. We do start to see a backup, as you can see its building, pushing toward the toll plaza.

Reporter well, we are kindred souls. I used to deejay country music. Dr. Angelou famously wrote, i forget what people what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel. My dear friend, you made me feel love and joy. That was my favorite from her. You cant remember because people are saying, when was the last time you talked to her . I remember how i felt. And you saw that outpouring of feeling yesterday, when the news came. Oh, my goodness.

You and sandy have brought us a little sneak peek of the movie thats coming out in december . Yes. Take a look. I love the city. No matter who you are, what you are, you just have to want it bad enough. Its a hard knock life for us annie is never going to find her family. None of us are. We all have family somewhere. Because you can, doesnt mean you should. Youre up five points in the polls. You saved a little girl from getting hit by a van. Whats the hustle . The more were seen together, the better it is for my campaign. When youre an orphanage the city needs me. Take it easy, batman. It looks like so much fun. And when hard knock life came on, you started to pop around. Thats one of my favorite songs from annie. It was fun to sing all of the songs. Ill bet. It must have been fun to work with jamie foxx. What was he like . He was like the nicest man ive ever met. It was fun to see all of the things with him. And make jokes around. Hes a funny guy. Talented guy. Yes. Hes really talented and funny. And you learned how to play it with sandy. Did a lot of tricks. And cameron diaz, i heard she was great to you on set. She was like a mom to me. She would make sure i didnt jump the wrong way or that she gave me a tip on live or Something Like that. You finished the movie. How is school going . School is going really well.

The movie comes out december 19th. You can watch the trailer on goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo and coming up, were going to talk to Angelina Jolie. Ike h. Now hondas slinging mud, launching false attacks. Isnt it time to put the old politics aside . The chronicle endorses ro khanna, saying he offers an upgrade in congress for silicon valley. And the mercury news says, ro khanna is ready for the congress of tomorrow. While honda is a politician of the past. For our future ro khanna. Khanna im ro khanna and i approve this message. [ cheers and applause ] nice out here in times square. We are talking about Angelina Jolie. She had a great time explaining her dark side in maleficent. Thats disneys new twist on sleeping beauty. It opens up tomorrow. And we talked about her costume to what she thinks about her kids following her into acting. Take a look. Before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will fall into a sleep like death. Reporter the spinning wheel, the finger prick, the sleeping maiden. This isnt your mothers sleeping beauty. Maleficent is a new take on an old classic. Is it true . Youre maleficent . Reporter a dark movie. You go towards the edge of camp. And shes such a complicated character. Curious little beastie. Reporter used to having cartoon character, good, bad, black, white. In this case, she was a little bit of everything. What was the part of her you wanted to bring out that hasnt been seen before . How do you tell a story about or make anybody care about a character that curses a baby. The worst thing you could probably do. What could possibly make a person, a woman, do this to a child . There is evil in this world. Reporter i brought out my own to the movie. I had four girls, two of my own and two friends. They had big questions. They were fascinated by it. How did you get into that costume . How hard was it . I had to take it very slowly. The first time i got into it, i had two different sets of horns. I had horns i could pop off because i kept banging them into things. When they were wrapped in leather, i couldnt. I was this 7 1 2foottall thing, with my staph. And i kept getting my staph caught in my cloak. It all went terribly wrong. Well, well. Reporter they thought it hurt to do your cheeks. Thats so sweet. It didnt hurt. It was glue. Such great makeup artists. Reporter they were also fascinated that your daughter was in the movie. They want to know, did she know she was acting . Yes, she did. Reporter she did . Yeah. She knows what mommy and daddy do for a living. The first day she acted was when she had to catch the butterfly. And i wasnt in the scene with her. And i think that was more complicated. Disney told us, its the funniest dailies theyve ever seen because its me and brad jumping around. And im holding the ball and trying to get her to follow me. And hes on the cliff, trying to get her to jump into his arms. Were singing. It was hard work. Reporter i know you said you didnt want your children to be actors. Do you think you can stop it . You cant stop your kids from everything. The creative side is wonderful. The public side of it is not something we wish for them. Reporter you mention the public side. It seems from afar, that youre kind of at peace, now, with the level of privacy or lack of privacy that you have. Is that true . You do some things that are fun. And you can also shed light on really serious issues and things that you really care about. And thats the most wonderful side of being public. And you can do some good. For that, i think i found the balance in a purpose for it all. And maleficent is said set to hit theaters next friday. And coming up now, the new film aimed to help americans struggling with financial problems. All right. Now, to the personal stories of families who are caught in a financial crunch. It is the latest heartfelt movie from davis guggenheim, oscarwinning director of an inconvenient truth. His new film has a dramatic message. Its time for change in america. This was expensive. Reporter Academy Award winning director, Davis Guggenheims latest passion project sheds light on the flaws of our financial system. Health insurance. Medicines. Reporter a system in which nearly 70 million americans are underserved. Many unable to pay off loans because of marked up fees and high interest. You have been groundbreaking in so many of your documentaries, talking about global warming. Talking about the problem with our educational system. What drew you to this particular problem . I get frustrated by the political divide in america. The left and the right. The class, the rich and the pour. And i like to tell stories that help everyday american families. This is something thats so classically unfair. And its a kind of thing that telling a good story helps. Reporter that story is the new documentary spent looking for change. Its two weeks until payday. And i got 8. I never thought i would see myself at a pawnshop unless i was buying something. Reporter these are people who were hard workers. Who were paying their bills. Who were middle class. But they had things happen to them. And the system isnt set up to help people in these situations. What is the biggest problem with the way our Current System is run . A lack of options. When the bank isnt working for them, they are desperate. And theyre looking for help. And thats when they get in trouble. Reporter and thats when millions of americans turn to payday and title loans, which use your paycheck and car title as collateral at a fee plus interest. These are hardworking hearn americans that have to do this. Its pulling them down gradually, when we should be pushing them up. Your film also shines a light on our antiquated Banking System and the way checks are cashed in this country. Were one of the last western countries that takes so much time to clear a check or transfer your money. The great thing about this problem is that its solvable. Banks should step in and fix this problem. Reporter and according to the film, part of that problem is the way our credit scoring system works. I want to build my credit. I want to be able to be given the opportunity to have some kind of credit line. You get credit now for paying your mortgage. Reporter but not rent. Why shouldnt you get credit for paying your rent, for paying your Student Loans . Reporter if things dont change, where are we headed . Its getting worse and worse. If we dont solve this, its going to be a bigger and bigger burden on our country. Thats the power of story telling. Some say what do your movies actually do . I dont think my movies do a lot. They start a conversation. Reporter and spent looking for change who is my brotherinlaw, will be available for free nationwide on june 4th. For information, go to goodmorningamerica.
