The desperate search for those two suspects. Our friend and colleague Elizabeth Vargas opens up about her long battle with alcoholism. The only thing that will make you feel better is more alcohol. The 20 20 anchor reveals what fueled her drinking, her darkest moments and how she took back control of her life. And good morning, america. Boy, that interview, Elizabeth Vargas with diane sawyer, is so raw and so real but also a lot of hope in there. We are very proud of her. And this is a disease that affects millions of people. She came out and very forthcoming about it and i think its going to help a lot of people. But first, we begin with the race for the white house. Both donald trump and Hillary Clinton sitting down to answer questions about leadership and the military. Their answers and attacks giving a preview to the upcoming debates. Clintons Campaign Manager robby mook is here. Hell talk to george live in just a moment but first, Abcs Cecilia Vega is on the campaign trail in charlotte, north carolina, with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. That first debate is now a little more than two weeks away, and this forum, overnight both sides facing off over what it takes to be commanderinchief and the one thing that both of these candidates can agree on, neither side is ready for the job. It was the first time they shared a stage and though never on it at the same time, donald trump and Hillary Clinton went headtohead on National Security. The republican candidate blasting American Military leaders. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. Reporter and openly discussing the classified intelligence briefing he has received as a candidate. There was one thing that shocked me, what i did learn is that our leadership, barack obama, did not follow what our experts and our truly when they call it intelligence, its there for a reason, what our experts said to do. Reporter in the nbc forum overnight, clinton making this promise about americas role in the middle east. We are not putting Ground Troops into iraq ever again and were not putting Ground Troops into syria. Were going to defeat isis without committing american Ground Troops. Reporter while trump would not reveal his plan. If i win, i dont want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is. Reporter what there was no shortage of, attacks. Clinton saying her vote for the iraq war was a mistake while slamming trumps shifting position. The decision to go to war in iraq was a mistake. Now, my opponent was for the war in iraq. He says he wasnt. You can go back and look at the record. I was against the war in iraq because i said it was going to totally destabilize the middle east. Reporter but thats not what trump said in an interview in 2002 with howard stern. Are you for invading iraq . Yeah, i guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly. Reporter another mistake clinton admitted to, those emails. It was a mistake to have a personal account. I would certainly not do it again. I make no excuses. Reporter while trump defended a controversial tweet about sexual assaults in the military. In 2013 trump writing, only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together . Asked about it overnight, trump wouldnt back down. Well, it is it is a correct tweet and by the way, since then its gotten worse. No, not to kick them out. Something has to happen. Right now, part of the problem is nobody gets prosecuted. Reporter and this morning, president obama is weighing in from overseas saying trump is not ready for the oval office. I dont think the guys qualified to be president of the United States. And every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed. Reporter you heard it there. The president is in laos and he is really blasting the republican candidate. He said the republican candidate has, quote, either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas. George. Not holding back at all, cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk to Hillary Clintons Campaign Manager robby mook right now. Robby, thanks for joining us this morning. Were you happy with how the forum went last night . Absolutely. This was an opportunity for voters to see the difference between these two candidates and what they saw was that Hillary Clinton both has a real command of the issues but also the experience and the judgment to be our commanderinchief and what we saw from donald trump was that he is simply unfit for the job. He insults at our generals. He said that men and women were not capable of serving together in our military. He showered praise again on vladimir putin, despite matt lauer walking through all of the all of the regrettable things that hes done. So i think voters really saw that difference and they saw that only one candidate was prepared to be commanderinchief and thats Hillary Clinton. Heres what Reince Priebus the chair of the rnc saw. He said, Hillary Clinton, was angry, defensive, no smile, uncomfortable. Upset that she was caught sending our secrets. George, this is what is so incredible and challenging for the republicans, the fact that the only criticism they could have for Hillary Clinton is that she didnt smile enough at a very serious forum on our veterans, on our National Security and on the job of commanderinchief. Just tells you everything you need to know. Donald trump simply didnt come prepared and hes not going to be prepared to serve as president and that was abundantly clear last night. Hillary clinton lost the coin toss last night so she went first and donald trump went second. Let me give you a chance to respond to a couple of things. He said that the Intelligence Briefings hes gotten so far showed barack obama did not follow what his experts told him to do and he could tell from the body language they were not happy. Your response . Well, first of all, its concerning that donald trump was, you know, was potentially sharing information that he learned in his briefing. I mean, but what was really scary, george, was he keeps talking about the secret plan that he has to defeat isis. What was clear last night was, theres really no plan at all, and thats whats scary is, first of all, he doesnt seem to have the judgment or temperament to make good decisions as commanderinchief but he doesnt have any plans and he certainly didnt have command of the issues or the questions that he was being asked. Hillary clinton said last night she would never again put Ground Troops in iraq but there are Ground Troops in iraq. Well, i think what she was referring to there specifically was the volume of troops that had been there before. But, again, Hillary Clinton is actually released a plan, a detailed plan on how to defeat isis. Donald trump has said he has one, hes keeping it secret. But, again, last night it was clear there just isnt a plan and hes trying to hide from that and he lashed out at our nations generals when he was asked for details. So, again, theres no plan there. And donald trump has shown us yet again he is unfit to serve. Robby mook, thanks for joining us today. Thanks so much. All right, george, lets bring in jon karl on this discussion about the forum last night. Its evident how the president , what he feels about what he saw last night. Yeah. Did we learn anything new about the candidates, where they stand on certain positions. Well, look, the first thing is this was a rough night for Hillary Clinton, robin. I mean, 13 minutes of questioning was on her emails. And despite what robby mook said there, you could tell she was irritated by this. She was legalistic, she was defensive. Donald trump got off relatively easily, he seemed confident. He seemed at ease, but he was let off relatively easy, although i think he will have things to pay for because of this debate. He praised putin again in pretty glowing terms and, you know, he went on to attack the generals, the Senior Officers in the military. Not only did he do that, how unprecedented is it for a candidate to share classified information from an intelligence briefing . That was bizarre. Did he reveal too much . Look, ive been covering president ial elections for a long time. Ive never seen a president ial candidate talk about one of those briefings. He didnt reveal any classified information but implied that they were on his side. It was strange. Thats the thing. These Intelligence Briefings are done by intelligence professional, not political people at all, not policy people at all. They dont weigh in on policy. Thats why it was sort of surprising to hear him characterize what they were saying in that way. Yeah, they cant defend themselves, so he implies they were basically on his side and they cant speak about this at all. Big difference here from a debate. They did go backtoback. Each it will be more interesting to see, i guess its coming up on september 26th, which issues each of them chooses to pick up on. When the opponent goes and whether they decide to jump in. Well, i think that what it showed is both of them have a lot of prepwork to do before the next debate. I mean, Hillary Clinton needs to be able to handle these tough she still doesnt have a good answer on her emails and donald trump will not get off so easily in the next debris. Because Hillary Clinton will be able to jump in. Do you think with Hillary Clinton because she hasnt had any press conferences or that time huge. Huge. For two reason, robin, first of all, its less practice, less back and forth. She went 270 days without a press conference. Not a lot of tough interviews. If she had been doing that the questions would have already been asked, matt lauer would have maybe felt less of a need to hammer over and over again on emails and she would be more at ease with the questions. Jon karl, thank you. Lesson, do more press conferences. Yes. Of course, thats going to be your lesson. Practice, practice, practice. Thats what they need to do. Now to that flooding in the midwest. Well turn it over to ginger who is going to tell us whats left of the former Tropical Storm newton and its messing up the south and ginger is here with that this morning. This morning, we are learning that tucson had almost a months worth of rain in just one day as the remnants of what was newton passed over. So, it didnt make history as that Tropical Storm but some places got up to a half foot and the moisture fueling that ongoing flash flooding. Thats from milwaukee, wisconsin, a lot of people picking up anywhere from 3, 4, 5 inches quickly and this morning you can see it on the satellite image as that pools up. Chicago back to kansas city really raucous morning. That moisture is going to pool and, again, thats why we see flood watches just south of davenport, just east of wichita. The next story is right here. If in the northeast, new york city, philadelphia, dover, were all in a heat advisory. Itll feel close to 100. Look at some of those heat indices this afternoon, george, 106 in dover. That is hot. Okay, ginger, thanks. Were going to turn now to a shooting sparking outrage in chicago where Surveillance Video shows a gunman attacking a 71yearold man there watering his lawn. Abcs alex perez is in chicago with the latest. This comes after chicagos deadliest month in decades. Reporter thats right, george. Good morning to you. Authorities have working, trying to solve all these cases. What were learning from investigators on this case, the 71yearold was minding his own business when suddenly he was fighting for his life. This morning, Chicago Police on the hunt for the brazen suspects that took down this Senior Citizen and then shot him. The entire ordeal captured on tape by a neighbors surveillance camera. Watch as 71yearold Frederico Laguardia was out watering his front lawn tuesday when two men ride past him on bicycles and moments later one of those men returns, wrestling him to the ground, shooting him in the abdomen, then rifling through his pockets and stealing his wallet. This is absolutely ridiculous. Youre not even safe in your own yard. Reporter injured laguardia then gets himself to a neighbors front door and calls for help. The unbelievable video another sign of the recordbreaking violence plaguing some parts of chicago. In 2016, nearly 3,000 shootings so far, more than 500 murders. More than new york and los angeles combined. Its not a police issue. Its a society issue. You know, impoverished neighborhoods, people without hope do these kind of things. You show me a man who doesnt have hope and ill show one whos willing to pick up a gun and ready to do anything with it. Reporter theyre hoping this video leads to an arrest. If you can identify your child on there, do the right thing before you get the knock on the door. Reporter no arrests. Good news here is laguardia is doing better and his wife says hes in fair condition. Alex, thank you very much. George, you spent time with nba star dwyane wade. His cousin was gunned down recently. Taking her kids to school. Right there on the street. And he says, hes going to do what he needs to do and others need to do to take back their community. He is going back home and he says it reminds him of what it was like growing up back in the 90s when there was a lot of violence of as well. The most important thing needs, he thinks they need to have mentors. There are gang wars going on. They have to find a way to get a handle on it. For the young men and women. They need those mentors. They need hope. Amy is here with the rest of todays top headlines, starting with a highway shooting in arizona. Yeah, this is a tough story. Breaking news overnight, a woman has died after being shot while just driving down the highway in phoenix. Police say she called 911 to say she was being chased by a truck, dispatchers then heard three shots, no arrests have been made yet. Police say there is no apparent link to a serial shooter in that area blamed for seven recent killings. And some disturbing video from southern california. A Police Officer was seen using his baton to repeatedly hit a suspect on the ground. Police say moments earlier that suspect tried to grab the officers gun inside a store in marietta and an investigation is under way. An dSurveillance Video showing the moment a murder suspect in las vegas twisted and broke through his handcuffs after being left alone in a Police Interrogation room just last week, he then climbed through the ceiling to escape. It took police 25 minutes to realize he was gone and he was finally captured on tuesday. Well, an asteroid the size of a school bus passed by earth. The space rock buzzed the planet wednesday at 18,000 miles an hour and scientists discovered it only two days earlier. This comes as nasa launches a rocket today sending a robot to another asteroid to collect dust in hopes of finding clues to the origins of life. And soccer star Megan Rapinoe did not get a chance to protest the National Anthem at last nights game. The owner of the washington spirit changed the pregame ceremonies and played the anthem while the players were still in their locker rooms. Rapinoe took a knee during a recent game to join nfl quarterback Colin Kaepernicks protest for minority rights. And it was a messy morning commute around wilmington, delaware, after this truck overturned spilling thousands of pennies onto interstate 95. The truck was headed to the u. S. Mint in philadelphia when it overturned. And finally, trying to sell an Office Building shaped like a giant picnic basket apparently is no picnic. Take a look. Yep, thats an actual building. These are the headquarters of surprisingly a Basket Company in ohio. It cost 32 million to build this back in the 90s but the company is so desperate to sell it theyve lowered the sale price to just 5 million but still no takers and its been on the market for over a year. Maybe if they took the handles off. That might help. Im thinking the same thing. Maybe. The lands got to be worth 5 million. Maybe a little bit longer. All right, guys. Now to the latest on ryan lochte and reports this morning that the embattled olympian will be suspended for ten months following what happened in rio. Abcs ryan smith joins us now with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. The suspension means the 32yearold swimmer is out for next years World Championships the other three teammates are also facing bans of several months, as well. But officials from the usoc, United States olympic committee, and usa swimming, have yet to publicly comment but an announcement is believed to be coming later this afternoon. The 12time medalist apologizing for exaggerating a story that he was robbed at gunpoint creating an international incident. Now, if lochte wants to continue competing on the international stage, his next eligible world championship, 2019 when he is 35 years old. Thats going to be a tough one to do, robin. Well have to wait to see if that happens. Ryan, thank you very much. Everyone kind of suspected Something Like this had to happen. Ginger, whats going on in arizona . We just talked about that flooding rain, and the
