Good morning, philadelphia good morning, america. Oh, my gosh. We cannot wait to celebrate that father. We have a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun last night at the phillies game. Yes, we did, and you know what . You got to say, we have an incredible audience here this morning. Mo philalpa art seutig osif and take a look oow. Appreciate that. Fantastic for showing up. You had an excused absence from the game last night. You had a very big interview, rare access to president trump. Incredible couple of days, robin. I spent the last few days behind the scenes with president trump, and access no reporter has gotten before, an interview in air force one, in the president ial oval office. We spent a lot of time together and he made a lot of news last night, including that remarkable admission that he would accept hes open to accepting information from a Foreign Government in the 2020 election. Its already getting an explosive reaction. Reporter we had two packed days of extraordinary access. It started tuesday. The president was heading to iowa. How are you . Great to join you. Thank you. Reporter he invited us on air force one and that famed president ial limo called the beast. This is some piece of machinery. Oh, this is amazing. Reporter while the president landed in one part of iowa, democratic frontrunner joe biden in another. Donald trump is trying to take away your convictions. Your protections for preexisting conditions. Reporter i asked the president about the reports that hes trailing biden in the polls. I dont believe the polls. Theres no way he beats me in texas. Even your own poll shows youre behind, dont they . No, my polls show im winning everywhere. Weve all seen these reports, 15 out of 17 states youre behind. 15 out of 17 states. Nobody showed you those polls because those polls dont exist, george. Those polls dont exist. Im losing 15 out of 17 states . Those polls dont exist. I was just given a meeting with my pollster who i frankly dont even believe in pollsters if you want to know the truth. You run a campaign, and whatever it is, it is. I met with someone who is a pollster, and im winning everywhere. Reporter but the president wanted to know more so a few seconds later he asked to go off the record to call his campaign manager. Lets call brad. I want to ask him that question. Reporter those polls still on his mind the next morning when we meet. He had already tweeted about it. On Good Morning America, today, they had that phony polling information. I explained it to you last night that it was phony, but you didnt do anything about it. You should have but perhaps it was late in the evening and you didnt get a chance. I listened, i studied the information. I heard the explanations. Ultimately, it doesnt matter. Why does it bother you so much . Because its untrue. I like the truth, you know, im actually a very honest guy. Reporter as we talked in the oval office, the president s son was heading to the Senate Intelligence committee for more testimony. Your son don jr. Is before the Senate Intelligence committee today and again, he wasnt charged with anything. Not only wasnt he charged, if you read it, with all the horrible fake news, i mean, i was reading that my son was going to go to jail. This is a good young man. That he was going to go to jail. Reporter don junior has been caught up in the russia investigation because of that trump tower meeting in 2016 which he set up expecting to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from the russian government. Okay. Lets put yourself in a position. Youre a congressman. Somebody comes up and says, hey. I have information on your opponent. Do you call the fbi . Ill tell you what, i have seen a lot of things in my life. I dont think in my whole life i call the fbi. In my whole life. You dont call the fbi. The fbi director said that should happen. The fbi director is wrong because frankly, it doesnt happen like that in life. Your campaign this time around, if foreigners, russia, china or someone else offers information on the opponent should they accept it or call the fbi . I think you do both. You might want to listen. Theres nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, oh, i think id want to hear it. You want that kind of interference in our elections . Its not an interference. They have information. I think id take it. Robin, ive got to tell you guys, that was just a stunning moment for me for the president to admit it like this. This has been at the heart of the debate for the last two years, foreign interference in our elections, whether or not russia tried to interfere, whether they were trying to deliver dirt on Hillary Clinton. He said id take a look at it before i called the fbi, and as i pointed out in that int interview, the fbi director said, absolutely, if you get an offer like that, you should go straight to the fbi. The president said that was wrong. Its getting an explosive t p world. Its generating headlines and as you can imagine, the 2020 candidates are weighing in as well. Lets go to mary bruce in washington with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. This is sending shock waves through the 2020 race. The president s opponents saying what hes talking about in this interview isnt oppo research, its foreign interference and they say its dangerous. The president s top target on the trail, joe biden, tweeting, it isnt about politics. Its a threat to our national security, adding that an american president should not seek their aid and abet those who seek to undermine democracy. Kamala harris says trump is sending a clear message to our adversaries. Take a listen. To our adversaries around the world and fill in the blanks, north korea, russia fill in the blank. Hes sending a signal to them, hey, come on in. Reporter meanwhile, Bernie Sanders e Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren all have a urge of the need to impeach the president. And trump welcomed the help and now he said hed do it all over again. Guys, she says now is the time to impeach donald trump. Mary, thats all of the president ial candidates. This is also creating more debate in congress, likely to put more pressure on House Speaker nancy pelosi. Absolutely, george. We have been seeing the pressure already growing on the House Speaker. This is only likely to underscore that. She is in a very difficult spot. So far, she has been urging caution, instead, urging investigations, to fhesero president , only ratchet up the movement and to start impeachment. Mary bruce, thanks very much. This is going to roll throughout the day. You had a few wild days with the president. It was something. In that exchange right there, i hadnt even asked at first about robert mueller. We were just talking about the oval office, talking about the beginning of the day. It is so clearly on his mind right now. Hes so clearly angry about it, as you can see, and very, very defiant. We talked about a lot more including other aspects of the mueller investigation, obstruction of justice. The president took questions from me that he wouldnt take from robert mueller. Were going to have more on that later. Much more in our next halfhour and also he revealed something on air force one . This is something we havent seen. The president has a new design for air force one. He showed it to us. Everyone is going to see it later in the show. We will. All right. Were going to that storm thats hitting the east coast with rain. Thats out here with us this morning, and well go to ginger who is on the steps of the museum with the very latest. Good morning to you, ginger. Hey. Good morning to all of you. Philly showing off, still looking good even in this torrential rain. We have been enduring and will, for the next three to five hours. Lets look at the video coming out of charleston, south carolina. This moved up from the gulf really. This is more than 4 inches, a daily record for charleston, flooding the streets there. Now it is really centered on the midatlantic. We threw the lightning bolts on there just to showcase along that low pressure system from delaware to maryland you may be seeing some of the lightning with this. The flood advisories including dover and on. Ere goesne o robin, another shot of thunderstorms from pennsylvania along the east coast. But for now, well head back to you. And i found out contact lenses and the rain do not mix. Hence the glasses. Thank you, ginger. More from you. But we have new developments now in the shooting of former red sox legend david ortiz. Six people including the alleged gunman now in custody, and police say they found the gun used in the attack. Our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas is there in boston for us with the very latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you, and this is far from over. There is an urgent manhunt right now in the Dominican Republic for even more suspects, including one nicknamed the surgeon, and we have learned overnight, that person, the surgeon, is also wanted here in the u. S. In a separate case, but a similar crime, conspiracy to commit attempted homicide. This new video shows just how close david ortiz came to dying. His assassin in the baseball cap walking right up to him, shooting him in the back. The single shot sending ortiz to the floor, and clubgoers right their seats, this morning, the alleged gunman, 25yearold Rolfi Ferriera Cruz is behind bars. Police say this is the gun he used, holding it up during a News Conference where they announced a total of six people have been arrested and theyre still looking for more. Investigators say the men agreed to kill big papi for less than 8,000. The alleged plan involved these two hyundais parked in front of each other. You can see one man getting out of one of the cars. A motorcycle nearby, the alleged getaway vehicle, shown moments later with two men on it, driving down the street moments before the ambush. Police say the suspect stalked ortiz while he was out at a nightclub in Santo Domingo on sunday night, shooting him while he was outside on the patio. Ortiz in boston, where we played for the red sox and back home in the Dominican Republic. Though police say they know who tried to kill big papi, they have yet to say why. Ortizs wife tells us he is recovering here in the hospital, but he has to maintain himself in the intensive care unit. Fans all week all around boston have been wearing big papi jerseys. They tell me theyve been praying for the slugger and were expecting as soon as hes better, as soon as hes stronger, theyre likely to have a big Welcome Back Party at fenway, george. Looking forward to that. Tom, thank you very much. Now to that breaking news overseas. The u. S. Navy is rushing to help two oil tankers in oman. This comes amid rising tensions with iran. Joining us is chief Global Affairs anchor martha raddatz. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. The u. S. Navy received two separate distress calls this morning, 45 minutes apart, after reports of explosions on the tankers and then rushed the uss bainbridge, a guided missile destroyer, to help. It happened in International Waters between the coasts of iran and oman, near the straits of hormuz. That major waterway for the worlds oil. This was in the same waters where four tankers were sabotaged last month, but the damage from the suspected attack this morning appears to be far more serious. The crew was forced to evacuate from one of the ships. And reports are that at least one of the tankers is on fire. The u. S. Blamed iran for the sabotage of the ships last month, a claim in which iran denied. This occurred while japans Prime Minister was meeting with irans ayatollah to ease tensions in the region, but this will surely raise tensions even further. Michael . Definitely tensions will rise. Thank you so much, martha. Were going to turn now to that thrilling stanley cup final, a moment that was 52 years in the making, the st. Louis blues winning game seven, beating boston, capturing their first championship ever. Abcs alex perez in st. Louis where fans were celebrating late into the night. Hopefully they cant keep you up, alex. Good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. As you mentioned, this has been a moment five decades in the making. To say that people here are happy, that would be a huge understatement. Take a look, the st. Louis blues celebrating their first ever stanley cup title, beating the nhl powerhouse Boston Bruins in a Decisive Game seven. The blues capping off a comeback for the ages going from dead last as recently as january, to now flying high as hockeys top team. The celebrations among the blues faithful stretching all the way back home here to st. Louis, huge crowds packing in to watch the game and celebrate at that final buzzer. But the most touching celebration may have been right on the ice in boston. The blues inviting 11yearold Superfan Laila Anderson who suffers from a rare lifethreatening immune disease to the game. And after they won, she got to have her own special moment with the cup. The team now making its way back home for the big victory parade. Michael. All right, thank you so much. Worst to first. Worse to first. Thats amazing. Worst to first, and watching last night and dominating with a rookie goaltender who was stopping everything. Really impressive by the st. Louis blues. Congratulations to them and the fans. We were at dinner last night and you were in d. C. You kept getting Text Messages from this man here. He was watching the stanley cup finals.

And there will be a game six in oakland reportematterhe 47 years, their last gamer ever at oaklands oracle arena. Were just thinking about enjoying this last show at fans. Reporter down 32, theyll have to make this last stand without superstar kevin durant who confirmed he ruptured his achilles. In the warriors nailbiting victory in the north. On wednesday he posted this photo from his hospital bed saying surgery was today and it was a success. Adding, i wanted to help my teammates on our quest for the threepeat. Im proud that i gave it all that i physically could. I know my brothers will get this game six and i will be cheering with dub nation while they do it. Steph curry vows to step up. Klay says to protect our home court, feed off our crowds energy, play for k and try to keep our season alive. Reporter now golden state has one more chance to put on a show for the home crowd in oakland and stave off elimination and possibly get to a game seven back in toronto. I expect our fans to be the loudest theyve ever been, especially in the name of kevin, and, you know, bringing his type of spirit he would bring to the fight and the competitiveness.
