Transcripts For WABC Good Morning America 20240622

Tourists. The incredibly rare jump caught on camera. Jump we do say good morning, america, on this wednesday morning. That never happens to me when i go out on a whale watch. Occasionally i get a wave of a flipper. This was an incredible sight for those whale watchers. Very few people have seen Something Like that. And what did we see on the campaign trail yesterday with donald trump . He is again making headlines. He sure is from that key state of iowa facing off with americas top latino journalist over immigration. His controversial plan is getting all kinds of support and criticism. Were going to speak to that reporter, jorge ramos, in a moment. First abcs tom llamas was in the room for the fireworks and starts us off. Reporter george, good morning to you. Let me set the scene for our viewers. Donald trump had just started his News Conference last night. He was asking a couple of questions when suddenly jorge ramos who is the main anchor for univision gets up and starts asking some very tough questions. He starts to go at it with trump and then something weve never seen a trump bodyguard comes over and gets in between ramos, a u. S. Journalist and donald trump. Now, some of us have had heated exchanges with donald trump but nothing like this. Okay, who is next . Yeah, please. Mr. Trump, i have excuse me. Sit down. You are werent called. Reporter overnight Donald Trumps News Conference in iowa didnt go exactly as planned. I have the right to ask the question. Go back to univision. No. Reporter trump tangling with jorge ramos, the univision anchor and host of fusion. Sit down. Reporter trump looks over at his staff, a bodyguard walks over and ushers ramos. Dont touch me, sir. Reporter out of the News Conference. Watch what happens outside. A manwaring a suit and trump stickers confronts. Get out of my country. Im a u. S. Citizen too. Well, whatever. Reporter back inside i asked trump about what just happened at the News Conference. Do you think you handled that situation correctly . I dont believe ive ever met him except he started creaming and i didnt escort him out. Youll have to talk to security. Whoever security is escorted him out. Certainly he wasnt chosen. Just stands up and starts screaming so, you know, maybe hes at fault also. Reporter eventually ramos who is mexicanamerican is allowed back in in good to have you back. Thank you very much. Reporter sparring about a plan. How are you going to build a 1900milelong. Easy. A waste of time and money. I dont believe that. Reporter this as trump faces tough questions over his twitter feed monday firing off a series of negative late night tweets about fox news anchor and Republican Debate comoderator megyn kelly criticizing her performance on her show and retweeting a comment calling her a bimbo. On tuesday roger ailes demanding an apology from trump. Its a very small element in my life, megyn kelly. I dont care about megyn kelly, but, you know, i would not apologize. She should probably apologize to me but i just dont care. Reporter now, we showed a photo to the Trump Campaign of that man that confronted ramos outside the News Conference, the man who told him to go back to his own country. The Trump Campaign says that man is anot a staffer or volunteer. Trump did speak to a very large very energetic crowd in dubuque and many supporters say the same thing every time i ask them why do you love him, because hes politically incorrect, they say. George. He stirs up a lot of strong feelings. Thanks very much. The man of the moment, jorge ramos joins us right now and, jorge, you said in that piece youve never seen anything like this before but is it what you were expecting given the disputes between univision and mr. Trump . No, what i would expect is that i can ask a question as a journalist because thats our responsibility and i would expect mr. Trump to answer honestly about what he really wants to do because he hasnt given us the specifics and i saw your show on sunday and you pushed him on how hes going to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and he didnt answer your question and didnt answer mine but i didnt expect to be thrown out of a press conference. Never in my life and ive been a journalist more than 30 years. Ive never been thrown out. The tape shows mr. Trump looked over to the Security Guard before the guard came over to you. Do you think he was directing the Security Guard to take you out . It is very clear with his body language that he was giveing orders and i did wait for my turn. You know how it is in those press conferences, two reporters before me ask a question and then i said i have a question on immigration. He didnt say anything. I stood up. I started my question. He didnt like my question and when he didnt like my question he motioned so the one Security Guard would come where i was and then threw me out of the press conference. What did the guard say to you . What happened backstage . I waited outside and then my other colleagues also confronted donald trump and somebody from his Campaign Came out of the room, told me if i wanted to come in and ask my question and i did. Of course, i went i came all the way to do that. Remember, i tried to have an interview with donald trump. He didnt allow me to have an interview. He published my cell phone. Thats what i wanted to do. I came back and asked those questions. He eventually did take your questions. Have you heard anything else from him or his team . New. He has to explain how he wants to deport 11 million people. To do that . Put people in stadiums . We have to denounce that he wants to deny citizenship to children being born here. Theyre citizens just like his and it is impossible to build a 1900mile wall between mexico and the United States, so thats the kind of questions that i was asking mr. Trump and obviously he didnt give any you pressed him hard with those questions and have had tough things to say about mr. Trump. On cnn you said he was the loudest voice of intolerance, division and hatred right now in america. How do you respond to some of your critics like sean spicer, the chief strategist of the rnc who says youre more advocate than journalist . What i would say is that as a journalist, you have to take a stand. I think the best journalism happens when you take a stand and when it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public lies, dictatorships of human rights as journalists, we are not only require but we are forced to take a stand. I think mr. Trump will give you an interview now. He didnt want to before but right after the interview, he said, well talk so lets see if he keeps his promise. Im not sure. Jorge ramos, thanks for your time this morning. Thanks, george. A lot of people would watch that interview. Im sure they would. Now to the wild ride on wall street. Markets overseas struggling to overcome fears of a Global Economic slowdown. After the dow closed down for the sixth straight day, losing another 200 points, the benchmark has plunged nearly 2,000 points since last week and abcs Rebecca Jarvis is back there at the New York Stock Exchange there on the floor for us this morning. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter and good morning to you, robin. All of this is enough to give you whiplash. Take a look at this wild week for stocks so far. Monday morning everybody comes in to work here at the New York Stock Exchange and stocks in the early minutes of trade plunge an unprecedented 1,000 points and managed to claw their way a bit closing down 588 points then we come into work yesterday, Tuesday Morning and it looks like stocks are actually pointing higher, in fact, they get as high as 441 points higher before then tanking, plunging again in those final moments of trade closing down 200 points. We are setting up for another wild day today. Theres an index here at the New York Stock Exchange and around wall street that tracks fear and that gauge of fear has now spiked, robin, to its highest level in a year. Well, you just said its setting up for another wild day what is the outlook overall . Reporter this is whats interesting. Whats so interesting, robin, overnight and you just mentioned it overnight around europe, in asia things are pointing lower but here in the u. S. Were actually looking at a higher open, 200 points higher. See what happens. Youll be there. All right, rebecca, thanks. To that terrifying showdown at a West Virginia high school where a studentarmed with a handgun held a class hostage. Pierre thomas has all the details. Good morning. Reporter good morning, george. As parents we can only imagine it was a nightmare scenario that came to small town West Virginia. The terror began at 1 15 p. M. Principal is advising there is a weapon at the school. Reporter a 14yearold student brandishing a pistol walking into a second floor classroom at Philip Barbour high school in West Virginia and aims his weapon at a teacher in a classroom with 27 student. We have a hostage situation, second floor. Hostage situation, barricade.

She immediately ducked back out, slammed the door on the way out. Reporter then another teacher tries to open the door. The situation escalates. The gunman points the pistol at her. Went into her classroom. She buzzed the office at that time. Reporter administrators issue a code red evacuating the school and calling 911. Police arrive and convince the 14yearold to let everyone in the classroom go. The teacher did a miraculous job calming the student, maintaining order in the class. Reporter the 14yearold held at a local hospital this morning. Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that no one was hurt but the big question this morning is why . Why did he do it . What was the motive . Robin. Would like to know that but as you said a big sigh of relief. Thank you, pierre. Now to that wildfire danger out west. A group of fires in Central Washington now the largest in that States History, hundreds of firefighters joining the front lines. The start of school delayed for many students. Abcs Kendis Gibson is in washington and has the latest. Good morning, kendis. Reporter robin, good morning.

We get the latest on that Tropical Storm churning in the caribbean. Warnings issued for puerto rico and other islands. Ginger tracking the path of erika. Now with 40mileperhour winds moving west at 18 Miles Per Hour but running into some really unfavorable conditions so a lot of wind shear in the upper atmosphere that cuts at the Tropical Storm. Either way we still have high confidence in it making it to puerto rico. Thats why the Tropical Storm warning is in effect. But when you see a cone like this, Pay Attention to the cone, not the line because that is why, by day five we have a margin of error of 240 miles on either side so it has a lot of opportunity to change in intensity and also in direction. So thats why you see that very high confidence close to puerto rico then it spreads out. We will be updating at it gets closer to the bahamas and florida.

The defense beginning its case this morning for the former student at the elite st. Pauls school who was charged with sexually assaulting a younger female student. Abcs gio benitez is in concord with the latest on this. Good morning, gio. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Today we my family hear from owen labrie himself. Taking the stand to explain that encounter with a 15yearold girl. Law enforcement officers and experts taking the stand tuesday just as 19yearold owen labrie prepares to take the stand in his own defense. Hes accused of raping a 15yearold schoolmate last year. The lead detective remembering when she reached him on the phone after the encounter. The thought of my phone call had made him cry or made him want to cry and then he said i just wept. Reporter the detective saying labrie told her they had kissed and made the comment i should have stopped before. He continued talking and said that there was a lot of playfulness and contact back and forth and the word tease had been thrown around and he described a consensual encounter. Reporter but even though labrie whos pleaded not guilty denies ever having sex with the girl in that empty room of new hampshires st. Pauls school, the decorative says he told her about wearing protection. He said after he put the condom on, it was a sobering moment and that he had a moment of selfrestraint and stopping and then he called it a moment of divine inspiration. Reporter in a tense moment the defense challenging the decorative on getting a then 18yearold labrie to meet her without his mother present. Detective, please that was your goal, wasnt it . It was my goal but he made the decision. Okay, just admit that was your goal. I object. Reporter meanwhile, expert witnesses testifying that labries dna was found on one of the girls undergarments. To a ream degree of scientific certainty, owen labrie was the minor male contributor of the dna in that fraction of the cutting. Reporter the defense says it has four other witnesses standing by to testify, but weve learned this morning they may not use them at all. They are that confident in this case, robin. Okay, gio, thanks. Dan abrams is here with more. Had in his report. We heard the witness, talking about dna evidence but there are inconsistencies about that. Look, it seems clear that his dna was found on her underwear. Remember, they started thises is a consensual encounter. No one disagrees with that part and so its not that surprising that his dna would be found there. The question is, was the incriminating type of dna found there and thats where theres a subject of debate. And thats a really important question although, look, his defense team could make arguments as to how else it might have gotten there but its not conclusive evidence at this point, but, look, its important. Yeah, we heard from the lead detective. What kind of impact did her testimony i thought it was very powerful, in particular as she recounts the interview that she did with him, one of the things that i think rings the least true about what he said is that he starts thinking about her age and he says, oh, you know what, i ought not do this. You know, shes too young, et cetera. I mean, that seems to ring so hollow. This idea that he sought her out. He sends her a message to meet up with her, takes her up to this place, puts the blanket down on the floor and then has a moment of divine inspiration where he says, you know what, shes just too young and that i think is one of the most powerful arguments for the prosecution in this case. If he takes the stand its going to be up to the jury whether or not to believe him. Hes going to have to explain that and hes going to have to seem credible. This case is going to come down to his credibility on the witness stand. All eyes still on him. Thanks. We move to a scary story out of iowa. A Real Estate Agents life threatened and her agency canceling all open houses and calling police after a terrifying phone call. Davis has the details. Reporter this morning an iowa Real Estate Agency on edge after one of its employees received a threatening call sunday. That stranger telling the agent her name was picked at random out of a hat as part of a gang initiation saying, quote, im looking at your Business Card right now and warning that great harm would be done to her later in the day. Prank. We dont know if it was a very serious phone call. Seriously. Reporter her company shut down all scheduled open houses that day pulling their agents off the street and requesting increased Police Presence. This new threat just the most recent. One local broker saying safety has become a top priority after the murder of 27yearold des moines Real Estate Agent Ashley Oakland four years ago. To get a phone call like that, its a scary thing. Forany agent, man or woman. Reporter in 2014 arkansas Real Estate Agent Beverly Carter was found dead after showing a home to a stranger. And just this june, two different Florida Realtors robbed at gunpoint. Im a realtor. I was showing homes and someone just robbed me. Reporter Real Estate Agents like gina fier row on guard at all times. What kind of precautions do you take .

I could not see out of it. Reporter now with a dangerous bacterial infection in his left eye thats damaging his cornea. His doctor says caused by his sleeping in his lenses.

Reporter nearly 41 million americans wear contact lenses and in a recent study found more tan 50 survivored reported sleeping with their lenses in. 20,000 patients a year develop a pseudomonas infection. I had no idea Something Like this could happen. Reporter chad is now 20 vision in his left eye able to see light and color. While he might still need a cornea transplant chads doctor says his condition could have been much worse. If its left untreated, it can actually cause a person to completely lose the eye. Reporter to avoid infection doctors say you should avoid wearing contact lenses in the shower or pool. Change your lenses case every one to three months. Use fresh solution and most importantly, take your contacts out before you go to sleep. The risk is over ten times greater in patients who sleep with their lenses. This morning chad so grateful he caught it in time. I feel very fortunate that i was able to get in here as soon as i did because i do believe they saved my eye. And remember, he was actually following the directions exactly but experts say even contacts marketed as overnight, they should be taken out before you sleep. The Contact Lens Manufacturers Association tells abc news that the risk of an eye infection because of a result of loss of vision, its only four in 10,000 per year but those tips can make a difference.

Now to our series baby boom taking a closer look at the most common reason for infertility affecting 5,000,000 million women in the u. S. The cause is unknown but new research is raising hopes one day there will be a cure for all of those women having trouble getting pregnant. Abcs Deborah Roberts has our story. Reporter its a mysterious disease and one of the leading causes of infertility in american women. Called polycystic ovary syndrome or pcos it can be difficult to diagnose let alone treat. Its a disorder that is shockingly underdiagnosed. Thats because of lack of awareness in the medical community. Reporter symptoms include irregular periods. Excess hair on the face, weight gain and diabetes. Caused in part by high levels of testosterone. Now new hope for those who suffer. An exciting genoiic discovery. We found genes that suggest that maybe the cause is the pituitariary hormones that regulate ovulation as well as the receptors for those hormones in the ovary. Reporter clues that will hopefully lead to a cure for women like gale donnelly. You think youre going crazy but really its the hormones are going crazy and youre okay. Reporter shes been struggling with pcos for 20 years, a thin woman until age 27 when she suddenly gained 50 pounds in just six months. It was a huge surprise. I knew something was going wrong. I knew it and i kept going to doctors. Reporter it took ten years and two surgeries before a new doctor finally figured out gale had pcos and when she wanted a baby she had trouble getting pregnant. We actually had to go through doctors and levels and two rounds of ivf before we had our first one. Reporter but hers is a success story. Gales health is under control and with a little help from a fertility doctor, she has a family and has an important piece of advice for others. Dont give up. Just dont give up. Reporter for Good Morning America, Deborah Roberts, abc news, new york. We do love that advice, dont give up. Here to help with that is dr. Jennifer ashton. This new research may be giving a glimpse into what is going on inside people with pcos. Can you explain that . Yeah, we call this in medicine especially in ob gyn the most common but least well understood hormonal condition affecting women so this is major. The way i describe it to patients is, think of your hormones as instead of whispering their communication, shouting it with a bull horn and let me show you what i mean by that. Normally in a normal reproductive woman two signals, lh and fsh that talk to the ovaries and stimulate them to produce systemically one egg at a time and also produce estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. In pcos you still have the signals but its being communicated with a bull horn so have an imbalance. More lh. Less fhs. When that hits the ovaries you have an overactivity and a lot of follicles and eggs being produced and more estrogen, more male sex hormones including testosterone and can be a huge problem. Delicate balance. Talk to us about signs and simms. Lets start with things we might be able to see. If you look at an ovary, this is an actual ultrasound. In pcos you see a string of pearls appearance, eggs lined up along the outside of the ovary, but they dont get released. Then if you look at the woman head to toe, we can see things starting like male pattern baldness, thinning hair, facial acne, acne on the back and chest and a woman is usually hormonal. Its not due to sweat or overexercise and we have to remember with pcos part of it is reproductive and it affects the pancreas, increase insulin resistance and irregular periods and irregular ovulation can be a big problem for a woman trying to conceive. Absolutely. Okay, so no cure known but there are ways that we can treat this. Theres a mention new of Treatment Options and probably the biggest three that we talk about, if youre not trying to get pregnant the Gold Standard is a low dose Birth Control pill that regulates these hormone levels. For women trying to get pregnant, all the talk in the specialty about is letrozole, metformi in and clomid. And dietary behavior . Losing 5 of body weight while its hard can make a big difference. This is a very hard condition to treat. A lot of people affected by it. We know you have questions. Dr. Ashton will take them throughout the morning. Just tweet her drjashton. New Research Finds a link between sarcasm and creativity. Trending in wall street journal and our wise guy nick watt has the details. Reporter scientists now say that watching modern family will actually make you more creative, smarter, why . I wasnt the greatest husband the first time around but im trying to do better this time and maybe by my third marriage ill have it down pat. Yeah, that one is going to cost me. Reporter its that sarcasm. We discovered when people get exposed to sarcasm either by expressing it or receiving it they actually become more creative. Im sorry my fugitive timetable doesnt coincide with your social calendar. Reporter that got a book published.

Its appropriate that were talking about this. A new weapon in the fight against cyberbullying. An app developed by an impressive teenager that aims to stop the bullying before it even starts. Alex perez has that story. Reporter for teen tech whiz trisha, being a High School Science nerd is actually kind of cool. Shes traveled the world sharing her ideas even a headliner at ted talks about the problem of cyberbullying. Im passionate to stop it at the source before the damage is done. Reporter but now shes got an app for that. Over the past two years the problem has been developing rethink. An app to make cyberbullies think twice before sending a hurtful text. Its able to detect when someone posts something offensive and alert that person and go, whoa. Hold on. Are you really sure you want to post that message . Reporter the alert, a popup window on the screen. Were giving them a chance to rethink their position at which point they can either hit, you know, clear, maybe i do want to think about this or they can go ahead and decide that they want to post the message. Reporter the app built with a growing database of trigger words and phrases that could be offensive and the sophisticated program is intuitive. Rethink is able to understand the difference between i hate chicagos weather an i hate you because those are two different scenarios. Reporter her parents are both in Computer Science and started coding at age 10. The idea for rethink was born when she learned about 12yearold Rebecca Sedgwick who committed suicide after being cyberbullied by two classmates. It led her to studies on the brain and the part that regulates impulse control is not fully developed in teenagers. The adolescent brain is like a car with no brakes so we dont think about what were doing when we post something. Reporter pradahu tested it on 300 students with eyeopening results when the teenager gets an alert from rethink. The overall willingness to post an offensivemessage drops from 71 to 4 . Reporter the research winning her a coveted spot as a Google Science Fair finalist. I think anything we can do to reinforce the bullies to check themselves and victims to possibly not be a victim were moving forward. Reporter pradahu has no plans to profit from it. She says the app which is already available for Android Users will release an ios version in the next few weeks. For Good Morning America, alex perez abc news, chicago. Wow. Im telling you and i was just told up in the control room when using this app, teens, 93 will not then send that offensive tweet or message. 93 will change their find because of the app and they have a chance to think, rethink.
