please welcome david letterman. >> and the late night legend's big return. david letterman back on stage for the first time since retiring. >> it's so good to see famous people again. i missed wearing makeup. >> jimmy kimmel one-on-one with his idol. we do say good morning, america. how about that moment last night, david letterman making that big return, michael. >> makes you feel good to see david letterman out there first time on the late night couch before leaving. big evening for jimmy kimmel. he says he feels about letterman the way most people feel about beyonce. >> i don't think he's shaved since he was off the air. some proposing a bipartisan deal to restore funding for obamacare. the president sending mixed messages as he faces questions about the phone call he made to a widow of a fallen soldier. cecilia vega starts us off. >> reporter: he said it's the hardest thing he has to do as commander in chief but now it's this phone call to this widow that you just mentioned that has him facing criticism this morning. president trump made good on his promise to call the grieving families of those four special ops soldiers killed during a siege in niger but this morning his message to one grieving widow is sparking backlash. president trump told the wife of army sergeant la david johnson, quote, he knew what he signed up for, but when it happens, it hurts anyway. that's according to florida democratic congresswoman frederica wilson who says she listened to the call on speakerphone. >> this is a soldier who gave his life for his country. he is a hero. >> reporter: the call came just as myeshia johnson was on her way to the airport for the arrival of her husband's remains. pregnant with their third child, johnson laid her head on his flag-draped casket and gave a final kiss. >> it just hurts me to know he's not going to be with us. >> reporter: overnight the white house declined to address the details of the phone calls with the families instead saying in a statement the president's conversations with the families of american heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice are private. it comes on the heels of the president's false claims that other presidents including president obama did not personally call the grieving families of fallen soldiers. >> the traditional way of you look at president obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls. a lot of them didn't make calls. i like to call when it's appropriate when i think i'm able to do it. >> reporter: and tuesday in the white house, president trump blamed president obama once again implying obama did not call his chief of staff john kelly in 2010 when kelly's son was killed in the line of duty in afghanistan. >> i mean, you could ask general kelly, did he get a call from obama? you could ask other people. >> reporter: now, general kelly has made it repeatedly clear to reporters this is something he does not want to talk about. the death of his son. understandably so. the white house says that he never got a call from president obama in the wake of his son's death and while obama aides do not dispute that, they do, george, tell us general kelly was invited and did attend a breakfast here at the white house for gold star families where he sat at the first lady's table. but that was six months after the death of his son, george. >> as you said, general kelly himself prefers this all remain private. cecilia, thanks very much. >> we have to keep that in mind. more on that deal to restore funding to the affordable care act. just last week, president trump said he was going to slash crucial subsidies. critics accused him of sabotage. now the president is sensing mixed signals and our congressional correspondent mary bruce has the latest from capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, lots of mixed messages from the white house on this one. the president says obamacare is dead but now appears to support a deal to stabilize it but says it's simply not enough. just last week he cut off $7 billion in subsidies that helped millions of low-income americans pay for their coverage. now, republican lamar alexander and democratic patty murray have reached a bipartisan to deal to extend those same subsidies for two years in exchange for giving states more flexibility. the president this morning is commending their solution but the white house still hasn't said if the president will definitely sign it. >> so what are the chances that this new deal could become a reality, mary? >> reporter: yeah, robin, this is far from a done deal. up leer on the hill it's not clear if republican leaders will support it either. while the white house and congress debate this premiums for millions of americans could still rise. the question then becomes, who will the american people hold responsible for that? the president is already pointing fingers saying if premiums rise blame the democrats. robin. >> thank you. robin, one more note from washington. the president issued a warning to senator john mccain after mccain said the quote half-baked spurious nationalism backed by trump is unpatriotic. >> you heard what he said yesterday, senator mccain. >> yeah, well, i hear it. and people have to be careful because at some point i fight back. i'm very, very, very nice but at some point i fight back and it won't be pretty. >> more from meghan mccain, the newest co-host on "the view" and let me begin with you. you heard what the president said about your dad. where does this go next? >> you know, i think the fighting between them just comes from the fact that they have deep ideological differences of perspective on how america is run. how the republican party should work together. but on a personal note i don't know about you but i'm exhausted with the in-fighting within the republican party. i'm exhausted with the attacks on my father. i don't know if you guys have heard but my father is fighting glioblastoma right now and there's nothing that could possibly happen or threaten me and my family that could be more painful than what we are going through and whatever threats are being levied i'm telling you, right now there's nothing -- there's nothing that could possibly happen that could possibly be more complicated. i just have high hopes that someday president trump and the rest of the republican party can find some common ground together where if you have any kind of difference of opinion on the future of the country or the party, you're not just automatically going to be threatened in return. >> yeah, and the questions are trying to come to some agreement on big issues like health care and taxes even as these personal attacks go on. >> uh-huh, and, again, i have high hopes that it will happen. i'm a little confused about the bipartisan agreement with democrats regarding the health care bill because when you have people like rand paul and mike lee who are more on the libertarian side of the party who really just want repeal and don't want any replacement, that was part of the problem with the original bill. so i don't understand if you're a s'morer of president trump and you are part of his base, he ran on repealing and replacing obamacare and now for them will a compromise with democrats be satisfactory? i don't see how it's going to be possible. >> it doesn't seem like that all make sure dad is calling for compromise -- >> he is. again, he is and my father obviously was the infamous down vote but i just don't know if it will be satisfactory to his base. >> let me bring in matt dowd on this. matt, it does come, the president is trying to get republicans rallied behind tax reform, trying to get them rallied behind something on health care. yet these self-inflicted wounds continue starting with how he talked about the fallen families. >> well, every single time that you think donald trump has turned a corner and he's going to do something that is going to be positive for the country and politically positive for himself, he does another thing that reduces his approval ratings and drops him down. keep in mind, george, the only time that donald trump has risen in his approval ratings in his entire presidency was when he had cut that deal with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer on the debt ceiling and so if he can reach an agreement on daca or reach an agreement on taxes or health care reform then i think his numbers go up. the problem he has as meghan alluded to, the republicans are no way unified on what he should do. the democrats are pretty solid on this. but the president has to figure out a way to work with congress which he hasn't done since january 20th. >> and the one place republicans, meghan, are unified, tax reform. can they get it through. >> if we don't get some kind of win coming forward into midterms it will be very dangerous for people up to re-election. i certainly hope so but such a fractured party, there's so much in-fighting i wouldn't get too far ahead of myself. >> all right. would you give your father our best? >> thank you. he is doing good. i mean he's all things considered and we are so blessed and so happy to have the health care team at nih. we're so lucky. i just want to bring more awareness to glioblastoma and brain cancer. part of the reason i'm working at "the view." i hope you all come on at some point. he's doing well and appreciate the thoughts and prayers everyone has given my family. it is deeply meaningful. >> we saw your father and joe biden together. >> i don't agree with him on much but he's a wonderful man. >> one thing you do agree on, you fit right in on "the view." >> i was pretty nervous. thank you very much. >> we appreciate you coming here. thank you so much, meghan. we'll talk about some money news right now. a lot of eyes are on the stock market this morning after the dow reached a major milestone on tuesday crossing 23,000 points for the first time ever before closing just below that mark, abc's paula faris is on wall street with more. good morning, paula. >> reporter: and good morning to you, michael. the market is on fire right now. a lot of us are going to be tempted to peek at our 401(k)s this morning but as you heard the dow surpassed 23,000 for the first time ever and just to give you a sense of how hot things are since election day, we've seen a 25% increase in the market. 66 record highs and it's up 4600 points so why is the market as strong as it is right now? a couple of reason, number one being solid earnings reports. another reason, news of a gop tax cut plan. that makes significant progress yesterday when senator john mccain said he would back a bill, the senate is expected to vote on this a little bit later this week and trump continues to tout the largest tax cut in the had is tri of our country so what does that mean for you? here's what it means. if the american family had $10,000 in the market on election day this morning they're waking up, it's worth about $12,600. there are question, though, how long this bull run could last. we're in the midst of an eight plus year run. no signs it will be slowing down any time soon especially with news of this possible tax cut but there is concern the market is too hot and melts. too much of a good thing, too fast. the best long-term strategy, michael, look at your money but don't touch. we'll send things back to you. >> that's the hard thing, look at it but don't touch. a lot of people wondering how long this could continue. >> we'll see. from wall street and turn to that state of emergency declared in florida ahead of a speech by richard spencer, victor oquendo is in gainesville with more. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the university of florida already taking a number of precautions. they'll be setting up these steel barricades throughout the day. there's an increased police presence in and around campus. they want to make sure what happened in charlottesville doesn't happen here in gainesville. this morning the university of florida isn't taking any chances preparing for a speech by white supremacist -- nationalist. the national guard was activated hoping to avoid scenes like these. >> we're ready and prepared and we'll ensure that you are afforded your constitutional rights but that it's done in a safe and secure manner. >> hail, trump. hail our people. hail, victory. >> reporter: spencer the founder of the alt-right movement after this video went viral hailing trump with nazi salutes. >> i'm trying to normalize racism as you call it, absolutely. trying to normal "our own house" ideals of the alt-right. i don't want it to be a fringe move but want it to be a dominant movement. >> reporter: he was set to speak at a unite the right rally at the university university of virginia. that ended in violent clashes between protesters. one woman killed when a man drove a car into a group of protesters. after that, uf denied a request for him to speak citing imminent threats but the school's president last week said he was shocked to learn that uf is required by law to allow mr. spencer to speak his racist views on our campus. and uf will be footing the bill for all the added security. some $500,000. this is the phillips center where he will speak. he's clearly not welcome here but did send out this tweet saying breaking hurricane ricardo expected to hit gainesville on thursday. >> it will be a tense situation there. we'll move on to new trouble for the weinstein brothers and the company they founded as harvey weinstein officially resigned from the board in the wake of those allegations, his brother bob is facing allegations of his own and linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: this morning, shocking new accusations of sexual harassment, this time against harvey weinstein's younger brother bob who co-founded their movie studio. amanda segel, a showrunner on the now canceled spike tv show "the mist" produced by the weinstein company tells "variety" magazine that bob weinstein repeatedly tried to pressure her into a personal relationship with him in the summer of 2016. >> amanda claims when she went to dinner with bob weinstein, he actually asked her her age because he wanted to make sure that she was not younger than his own daughter. bob also asked her to come back to his hotel room. >> reporter: another accuser, alexi melvin took to twitter claiming bob weinstein at a party tried to lure me to one of those infamous hotel meetings with harvey. i was a minor. she tells abc news the alleged encounter made her feel trapped but that she was lucky her mother was present and stepped this. bob weinstein's attorney vehemently denies these claims telling abc news his client was surprised, stunned and extreme liang bring when he learned of the allegations. >> we have e-mails that cover this entire subject and show how phony this story is. >> reporter: the new allegations came the same day the weinstein company board met in new york city with harvey calling in from a rehab facility in arizona and officials resigning from the board. his attorney chose not to speak to cameras. the movie mogul is accused by more than 30 women of sexual harassment and assault. and now more of hollywood's women continue to speak out. >> we'll face it together. >> reporter: "game of thrones" actress lena headey posted on twitter when she declined an invitation to his hotel he said don't tell anyone about this, not your manager, not your agent. harvey weinstein has denied any allegations of nonconsensual sex and this morning pore women continue to join the me too movement. on twitter alone in the first 24 hours 625,000. 24 hours later it's double about that in excess of 1.2 million tweets from women around the world in multiple languages giving their own accounts of their personal experiences with sexual harassment. >> just exploded. we'll have more on that in our next hour. linsey, thanks so much. we'll turn to the night in major league baseball. closing time for the l.a. dodgers one win away from securing a trip to the world series. their first if they can win the game since 1988. i was 2 years old, robin. after beating the defend champ, the cub, 6-1 last night but all of the drama is in new york where the yankees were trailing 4-1. >> here comes the judge. >> here comes the judge, big home run kicked off a score for the yankees and scored four runs in eighth with a stunning comeback, 6-4. tied at 2 games apiece and all four face off again tonight. a good world series no matter who. >> don't count out the baby bombers. let's go to ginger. >> it is and you can see it right here on

shooter started his rampage. abc's matt gutman has the story. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. like so many hundreds of people, that security officer never saw the bullets coming. we now foe he walked right into stephen paddock's carefully laid trap on the 32nd floor designed to stall the response of law enforcement but despite being shot that security officer may have saved multiple lives. >> first of all, how are you both doing? >> i'm doing better each day, slowly by surely, just healing physically and mentally. >> i imagine that you relive that a lot. >> reporter: jesus campos, the mandalay bay security officer who was las vegas shooter stephen paddock's first victim, describing that deadly night for the first time on the ellen degeneres show today. he was sent to investigate a door alarm on the 32nd floor finding the interior doors to the stairwell drilled shut. >> at that time i heard what i assumed was drilling sounds and i believed that they were in the area working somehow. ca . >> reporter: campos called to report this and as he re-entered hallway the door slammed behind him adirecting stephen paddock's attention. >> i heard rapid-fire and at first i took cover. i felt a burning sensation. i went to go lift my pant leg up and i saw the blood. that's when i called it in on my radio that shots have been fired. and i was going to say that i was hit, but i got over myself just to clear that radio traffic so they can coordinate the rest of the call. >> reporter: moments later that engineer stephen schuck arrived in the hallway completely unaware that he's walking right into the shooter's trap. >> it wasn't in the hallway yet. jesus leaned out and said take cover, take cover and yelled at me and within milliseconds if he didn't say that i would have got hit. >> and were guests coming out of the doorways. >> there was a female that came out and i told her to go back inside it wasn't safe. shortly after that's when stephen was approaching and i told him to stay back and get cover and that's when more rounds were disbursed. >> wow, so really he saved your life and saved also the woman that came out of the door to go into the hallway. [ applause ] >> reporter: that account seems to clarify weeks of confusion about the shooting's time line. we knew jesus campos was indeed the shooter's first victim. but so many questions remain including what drove stephen paddock into this rampage and why after 12 minutes he stopped shooting. george. >> yeah, still so much to know about the motivation there. okay, thanks very much. all right, thank you. now to a story that is straight out of hollywood. police in colorado are searching for teens who broke into a house that was for sale. not to steal anything but to throw a big party. posting videos on snapchat as well and abc's adrienne bankert has more. good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: this is something no homeowner ever wants to see. strangers throwing a wild party in their

escapade on snapchat. the video now part of the police investigation to identify the suspects. >> we just have been picking up the cans and stuff. >> reporter: cox says he thinks his home was targeted

reporter: the wild party much like a scene from the film "project x" quickly getting out of control. >> break of dawn, yeah. >> reporter: in many cases homes targeted for parties are unoccupied or up for sale like this california mansion listed online in 2014 while the homeowner was out of the country. the security system not activated. hundreds of teens show up in response to an invite on twitter, then post photos of themselves drinking and partying. in the case of that california mansion there was about $1 million in damage. for colorado homeowner mieks cox some of the teens have reportedly been arrested. lock up your valuables. post signs if you have a home for sale saying video surveillance in kus and install home security. good tips for anybody. >> a million dollars in damage? >> a million dollars in damage. you feel for the homeowners for sure. >> it's kind of unthinkable to think of about breaking in and having a party and then posting it. >> and trashing it. >>

latest on those national anthem protests. the nfl players and owners holding that high-stages meeting. the commissioner roger goodell saying the league has not asked players to commit to standing and just moments ago, president trump tweeting about it saying in part, total disrespect for our great country. abc's ryan smith has more. >> reporter: this morning, the nfl is gearing up for a second day of meetings following a nearly four-hour-long discussion tuesday between 11 team owners and commissioner roger goodell huddled with a dozen players inside the league headquarters. >> we spent today talking about the issues that our players have trying -- have been trying to bring attention to about issues in our communities to make our communities better. >> reporter: commissioner goodell saying the league has not asked the players to commit to standing during the anthem is there we want to use our platforms and just talked about how the owners could come alongside us and collectively collaboratively work together to create some change. >> reporter: just a few miles away, at the site of the owners' meeting in downtown manhattan -- [ chanting "take the knee against racism" ] >> reporter: rallying behind their right to protest. jerry jones says his players must stand or be benched con fronted by one of the protester. >> look at the videos of the police getting away with murder and tell me the players are wrong to protest it. >> i think that's the most important thing when it comes to the issue is perspective and no resolution overnight but they're important to players. >> reporter: conspicuously absent former san francisco 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick who sparked this national debate now taking on the nfl. filing a grievance monday alleging the league and its teams are colluding to keep him out of a job. through his lawyers, kaepernick saying other players wanted him present but that he was not invited to attend. now, the nfl and the players union issued a joint statement tuesday saying the meeting's focus was to promote positive social change in our communities and respecting the flag and anthem and doug baldwin sent a letter to four senators endorsing the sentencing reform and corrections act, michael. >> thank you, ryan. colin kaepernick, of course, he started the national anthem protest last year and joyed by his attorney mark geragos in los angeles. good morning, mark. >> good morning. how are you? >> we're doing well, mark, we said colin started this protest but now you're seeing multiple players on multiple teams who have joined the protest. you talk to him regularly. what does he have to say to that? >> i think he's -- there's a certain amount of gratification that this movement has kind of caught fire. i obviously -- i don't think anybody ever expected it to be as big or as widespread or as talked about as it's become and i don't know that anybody could have foreseen it but at the same time, look how we've sparked a conversation nationally and internationally. >> they had the big meeting yesterday, nfl officers here in new york. the other players said they wanted him there. he was not invited. do you and did colin feel like he should have been there, that he should have been invited. >> well, he absolutely should. in fact, my office had the discussion on sunday and specifically asked or on monday, i should say and specifically asked is he going to be invited and we were told no and some of that misinformation, i want to dispel right now, we have two people who will tell you he was specifically said no. he would be there. he's a ten dollar cab ride away from the meetings and everything being talked about is stuff that he had articulated and said he wanted to and what he was trying to achieve and there is a certain aspect of this where certain elms especially the executive branch have hijacked this and tried to make it an anti-military or anti-flag and that's not what it is. he said from day one that this is about giving rise to social injustice and focusing on social injustice and unfortunately other people want to change that the paradigm, so to speak, or shift over the discussion to make this anti-american. it's anything but. it's pro-american. it's trying to make america exactly what it's supposed to be. >> mark, very quickly here, do you think we'll ever hear from him? will he weigh in publicly? a lot of people waiting to hear what he has to say. >> yes, i think he would like to but i will tell you, one of the reasons we filed a grievance as opposed to suing in federal court is i listen to the client and the client here, colin has one objective and the objective is he wants to be back on the field and you better than anyone, i think, can attest to the fact that clearly this is somebody who is one of the top ten quarterbacks around in the world. and certainly i don't think anyone will dispute there aren't 65 better quarterbacks than him. he should be playing in the nfl. he should be playing in the nfl as of yesterday, so for today at least he's not going to speak publicly. but he should be on the field. that's the object here. that's why we filed a grievance and didn't go to federal court. >> all right, mark. we look forward to hearing from him in the future. mark geragos, thanks. coming up, david letterman's big return to late night. it's going to be on the big board when we come back. and this guy is just trying to get through the day. this guy feels like he can take on anything. this guy isn't sure he can take it anymore. unwavering
