Homemade clock to class mistaken for a bomb. Was he racially profiled . Speaking out only on gma this morning. And get ready to go above and beyond this morning. We showed you this marvelous moment on the beach. Now were topping it with an epic event for one very deserving man who has no idea its about to happen. We are blasting off with our biggest live event ever only on gma this morning. And good morning, america. Big night at the reagan library, biggest debate field ever. There you see the 11 candidates walking onto the stage, the 11 who made the cut. Frontrunner donald trump in the middle of it all. He was taking heat from all sides last night including Carly Fiorina, another breakthrough performance from her and she is here this morning. We have our Political Team standing by to break it all down for think morning. Well begin with abcs tom llamas who was there for, well, all the fireworks. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. What a night. Many candidates showed up ready to confront trump head on but the man who wrote the art of the deal showing the art of the counterpunch and one candidate clearly having a huge night showing off her persona. Long bruising and personal, in no time the second Republican Debate turned vicious especially for trump. But i am worried, im very concerned about him being in charge of the Nuclear Weapon because his response, visceral response to attack people on their appearance, short, tall, fat, ugly, my goodness, that happened in junior high. I never attacked him on his look and believe me, theres plenty of subject matter right there. That, i can tell you. Reporter much of the focus trumps words like how he told Rolling Stone about Carly Fiorina, look at that face, would anyone vote for that. Trump said he was talking about her persona. I think women all over the country heard very clearly what mr. Trump said. I think shes got a beautiful face and i think shes a beautiful woman. All right, on that note reporter i asked trump if that was an apology. You can call it what you want but, you know, i really felt that and i really feel shes a nice woman. Reporter fiorina later taking trump on highlighting his companies for bankruptcy. Not once, not twice, record finds. Why should we trust you to manage the finances of this nation any differently than you managed the finances of your casinos. Reporter fiorina also getting a rousing reaction for her attack on planned parenthood and graphic videos she described depicting lateterm abortions challenging the president and Hillary Clinton to watch them. This is about the character of our nation. And if we will not stand up and force president obama to veto this, then shame on us. [ applause ] reporter to trump and jeb bush also bringing up hillary. You got Hillary Clinton to go to your wedding. Thats true. Because you gave her money. Maybe it works for Hillary Clinton excuse me, jeb, i was a businessman, i got along with clinton. I got along with everybody. That was my job to get along with people. Excuse me one second no. More energy tonight. I like that. Look i was asked. Reporter their fight turning personal. Your brother and your brothers administration gave us barack obama because there was such a disaster those last three months Abraham Lincoln couldnt have been elected. You know what, as it relates to my brother theres one thing i know for sure, he kept us safe. Reporter bush telling trump he owes him an apology for insinuating bush is soft on immigration because his wife is mexicoamerican. This is absolutely shes right here. Why dont you apologize to her right now. I wont because i said nothing wrong. I hear shes a lovely woman. Reporter but the end signs of a peace agreement. Trump and carson sharing an awkward but happy handshake and then this moment when asked what their secret Service Code Name would be, jeb saying high energy, donald. [ cheers and applause ] reporter trump getting a kick out of that saying this should be his code name. Humble. [ laughter ] thats a good one. Reporter now, trump didnt stay humble for long. Right after the debate he told us hes still on top in the polls. Now, many conservative pundits said on substance senator rubio had a huge night and this really was a make or break for several campaigns. Theyre not going to get this type of highprofile free exposure for another six weeks until the next Republican Debate in colorado. George. Thank you, tom. Joining us now one of the other candidate, a lot of commentators saw as a big winner last night, Carly Fiorina joins us from simi valley. Thank you for joining us. Did it feel like a win . Yes, i was very satisfied. You know, when i went into that debate, almost half the audience had never heard my name and didnt know i was running for president. So this was a really important opportunity for me to introduce myself and i think i did that successfully last night. You made donald trump blush with your response to his comments about your persona. Now calling a nice person and beautiful. You didnt have a verbal response on stage. What were you thinking at that moment . Well, you know, i think his comments were clear as i said last night, every woman in america understood what those comments meant. And so mr. Trump will have to live with what he says, just like we all do. Youve said tough things about him. Could you really support him if you were the nominee . Well, thats for voters to decide. I will support the republican nominee. I intend for that to be me. He also took aim at your record at hewlettpackard. The wall street journal pointed out at the time that the stock price dropped more than 15 on your watch and that your bet on that big merger with compaq failed. The ceo takes the fall for that kind of record. Is your record at Hewlett Le Packard fair game . The merger was a huge success. I dont know what article youre reading from or what year and also the nasdaq i led hewlettpackard through the Worst Technology we session in 25 years. You talked about the planned parenthood tapes but analysts who watched all 12 plus hours say the scene youre describing actually isnt in those tapes. Did you misspeak . No, i didnt misspeak and i dont know who youre speaking about in terms of watching the tapes but i have seen those images. I dont know whether youve watched then. Most people havent. Certainly none of the democrats who are still defending planned parenthood have watched those tape, planned parenthood needs to be defended. This kind of butchery erodes at the character of our nation. Well, sara cliff writing in vox concluded either fiorina hasnt watched the videos or she is knowingly misrepresenting the footage because what she says happens in the planned parenthood videos simply does not exist. Well, you know, theres a lot of commentary about these tapes being doctored, in fact, thats what the mainstream immediate keeps talking about, the tapes and their origins. Rest assured i have seen the images that i talked about last night, rest assured that human lives are being aborted fully formed in order to harvest body parts, rest assured that this erodes at the character of our nation and once again i will say i dare mrs. Clinton and president obama to defenders of planned parenthood to watch these videotapes. Youve had two debates. Some say two wins. Your poll numbers continue to go up. Where will you be in a month . Well, i dont know but, you know, im going to continue to do what weve been doing which is talking to as many voters as i can particularly in early primary states and early caucus states, getting out there and introducing myself to the american people. Carly fiorina, thanks for joining us this morning. Thanks, george. Okay, lets break this down with our Political Team, im joined by jon karl, matthew dowd and cecilia vega. Lets talk about the debate first. Matthew, big winner. Ifco winners on this. I think Carly Fiorina was a winner just as she was at the minor League Debate but marco rubio did himself some good. And both will be on the main event next time. Some agreement. Absolutely. Carly fiorina owned this debate from the beginning until the end in her attacks on trump, in the conversation on Foreign Policy, on planned parenthood. Even on the throwaway question of what woman should go on the 10 bill, she owned it but marco rubio stood out because he talked Foreign Policy with substance. This was one of his key moments. Because you better be able to lead our country on the first day, not exmonths from now, on the first day our president could confront a National Security dries cyst. Marco rubio used his time to tell his story first and foremost. Its hard to figure out who a loser is when you have 11 people on the stage. What do you think . I think the loser was donald trump. He looked like a silent film star doing a smell test through the course of this debate. Every single expression he had all of the different emotions he had and the other thing he looked was tired. He looked like he was at a starbucks line where the coffee was too late. And i think thats a big problem for him in the aftermath. Ive got a different loser. This was not trumps best performance but he didnt have any major gaffes. When youre the frontrunner you just need to not make a mistake. The loser was scott walker. He has fallen the fastest. He needed to break through and didnt. A lot watching jeb bush think over the two hours had some great moments but also some missed opportunities. Hard to say how he worked out. Id call him the most improved candidate on the stage. Which is never sounds like third grade when you fail something. Lets talk about hillary, cecilia. She did a little counterprogramming. She said she wasnt watching before the event at jimmy fallon practicing new spontaneous funny Hillary Clinton. We have some tape look. Im curious, donald trump. What is your stance on womens issues . Look, i know a lot of women, and they all have issues. There was even a joke about the e mails but, look, the clinton camp is calling this a victory for Hillary Clinton saying it shows how far right the republican field is. The official response was a pretty good one. They sent out a meme of Hillary Clinton shrugging her shoulders and rolling her eyes. Thats the reaction right now. You know, theyre saying, hey, look, theyll let the republicans fight it out and watch it and have a good time. But taking you up on that point i was surprised she didnt actually take more hits last night. She didnt come up very much. No, i mean, she didnt and they were going after trump. You have 11 republicans on the stage each trying to get their moment. They spent more time attacking him. By far trump was under attack. Watch the under card debate before this. The Congressional Republicans took more attacks than Hillary Clinton did. Theyre having a lot of trouble with the establishment in the field. Thank you all very much. Back to robin. We turn to that massive earthquake that struck chile. 8. 3 on the Richter Scale triggering assume warning and 1 Million People forced to evacuate and the death toll is climbing and ginger with the latest. The epicenter of this major earthquake is about 142 miles northnorthwest of santiago. It sends energy through the ocean. Thats why we have tsunami advisories for not only the Hawaiian Islands but also parts of the Southern California coast from ragged point, california, to about 45 miles southeast of los angeles. [ sirens [. Reporter this morning millions on edge in northern chile, a powerful 8. 3 magnitude earthquake rocking that nation killing at least eight. Tsunami advisories reaching as far as the u. S. Rescuers searching for those who might still be trapped. The quake rumbling off the countrys northern coast, setting off panic, sending people running through the streets. Transformers igniting. Santiagos main airport evacuated. People gathering in groups outside afraid more structures could collapse. The quake throwing groceries from store shelves, swimming pools rippling with waves. More than a Million People evacuating chiles coastal region, a small tsunami flooding the streets. Dozens of powerful aftershocks some measuring as high as 7. 0, large parts of chile this morning waking up without power. Schools closed across much of the country. And just to give you perspective, yes, this quake was all part of that ring of fire that we hear so much about, it is one of only 34 of this strength or higher that has happened since 1900 and the biggest theyve had there in chile since five years ago, 2010. So this is a big one and well be seeing more numbers coming in. Thanks very much. A big day for your money. The major announcement that could impact your bank account in just 30 seconds. The Federal Reserve will announce this afternoon if it will raise Interest Rates for the First Time Since the financial crisis. Wall street watching closely. It could have a Ripple Effect on mortgage, other loans and savings accounts. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis is here with what to watch for. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter hi, george, good morning to you and this impacts everyone. Think of it like the training wheels coming off our economy. The Federal Reserve says that they will only take those training wheels off and start raising rates when our economy is Strong Enough and heres why you care. Because when the fed hikes Interest Rates, everything from the cost of your mortgage to car loans to credit cards goes up and little moves in Interest Rates can mean huge moves in the cost of doing thing, for example, with a mortgage, every time your rate goes up 1 , the cost of owning a home jumps 10 . Now, the flip side of rising Interest Rates is that savers get paid at least a little bit more than what they have been getting to keep their money in the bank, george. I know youll be watching this afternoon. That is very much. Amy with the other top stories starting with a fine for general motors. Gm reached a settlement with the government over those defective ignition switches that have been blamed for at least 124 deaths. Prosecutors say the company knew about the problem for more than a decade before reporting it. Under that deal being announced today gm is expected to pay 900 million in fines. Also, a fourth person has died in those massive wildfires burning in northern california. The rain there is helping firefighters but the largest fire, the valley fire is just 35 contained. Nearly 600 homes have been reduced to piles of ashes so far. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl will appear at a military hearing in texas today. That will determine whether he will stand for trial for desertion. Bergdahl abandoned his post in afghanistan and was held captive by the taliban for five years before being freed in a controversial prisoner swap and theyre expected to argue his time in captivity was adequate punishment. Ray shocking figure from syria. Only four or five rebels by the u. S. Are currently fighting isis, four or five. The half billion Dollar Program was supposed to prepare thousands of rebels to fight by the end of the year. Meanwhile, thousands of Syrian Refugees are now heading to coa that after facing tear gas and Water Cannons while trying to evade border patrols in hungary. They claim a terrorist is among dozens detained at the hungarian border. Think danger at railroad crosses. Take a look. A bus carrying dozens of german students had broken down on the tracks as the train barreled towards them. The driver thankfully got all 60 kids out in time and no one was injured. Finally, we all make mistakes but some are more visible and lasting than others. Take, for example, the landscapers who thought they were spraying fertilizer on this football field near chicago, turns out they were spraying weed killer instead which clearly also kills grass. The st. Edwards High School Team now has to relocate for their next game. Theyve set up a gofundme page to raise enough to restore the turf. They raised 4100. They need 10,000 to replace the lawn. Major whoopsi. A lot more ahead. Elton john making headlines saying he thought he spoke to russian president obama putin. We now find out who was behind the prank. That 14yearold in handcuffs after bringing his homemade clock to school. Was it racial profiling . Even the white house is weighing in while ahmed mohamed, the young boy at the center of that firestorm is joining us this morning. Good morning, america. How much money do you think we saved today . A lot. Come in today for great deals like 10 off vinyl siding and asphalt shingles when installed through lowes. Today, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer will not survive. T. And that. Is unacceptable. At st. Jude Childrens Research Hospital we wont stop until no child dies from cancer. This september, please join st. Jude in our fight to end childhood cancer. Our cosmetics line was a hit. The orders were rushing in. I could feel our deadlines racing towards us. We didnt need a loan. We needed shortterm funding fast. Building 18 homes in 4 ½ months . That was a leap. But i knew i could rely on American Express to help me buy those building materials. Amex helped me buy the inventory i needed. Our amex helped us fill the
