it is a slow and delicate process. the death toll continues to climb. this morning maui's wild fire disaster now claiming at least 106 lives. 79-year-old lahaina musician buddy jantok among the first to be identified. >> for him to be taken from us that way, i think that's what's the hardest to come to terms with. >> reporter: hundreds still unaccounted for, as search teams continue their painstaking work. you can see the snapped power poles, one after another after another. for the first time, fema escorting us into the heart of the devastation. >> going through this area literally searching inch by inch. >> reporter: 20 search dogs now on the ground and 20 more expected in the coming days. frank taylor, who's managing one of the recovery teams, feeling the gravity of the task before him. >> when i go home, it might sink in a bit.

but, no, i have got a job to do. >> reporter: the scenes overwhelming. vehicles left awkwardly in the streets, as people dropped everything and ran for their lives. >> i have covered a lot of natural disasters throughout the course of my life, but this is, it's like a bomb went off. it's like a fire and a tornado and a hurricane all combined and just decimated this place. it's one thing to see the pictures, but to see it in person. it just hits you in a different way. iconic storefronts reduced to rubble. still smoldering. boats in the harbor now charred skeletons. life frozen in time. is there anything you'd like to say to the familys? >> we're here to putted those families at ease. we're gonna do our very best to find your loved ones. >> reporter: officials saying at least 27% of the burn area has been searched. among the missing, 79-year-old maurice buet, a korean war

recovery. 106 fatalities as of last night. 27% of the ground has been covered. many of the fatalities were on the road down by the sea. the numbers will increase, but they will not increase, we hope, to catastrophic, further catastrophic pro-portions. we just don't know yet. we have an enormous team on the ground. we're forever grateful to the president and the full force of everyone who's helping. president turned around our emergency declaration in six hours, which opened up all sorts of potentials to support. we have folks on the ground with dogs going through houses. we've begun to house people, of course. we're moving from the initial phase of recovery deep into the acute phase. there's just so many things to share. what i can tell you is people are holding up. we have national guard on the ground.

we opened the road last night so that people can get from east to west on maui. we're just grateful for everyone's out pouring of support. though the work load's extraordinary and our hearts are broken, we will get through it. we just are still kind of in the thick of doing recovery. >> there's an awful lot of frustration, sadness and heart break as well. when will people be able to get back and survey the damage at their homes? >> as of last night i gave the order to open the road. the way that's going to work now is, from 6 a.m. every morning until 10 p.m. people will be able to drive freely. we will have, of course, our national guard responsible on the side of the road so that no one goes into the impact zone. the impact zone is number one still there with our loved ones. so we have to be very careful not to disturb the scene so we can do the necessary recovery. but people can get over there now. and between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. it's only for people who are

doing emergency dropoffs and for individuals that live there. that was important. we've had multiple, multiple trips into the scene and site with our professionals, of course. people like myself and our fire and police have been in there often. like i said, i know it's frustrating for people. but this was a tragic combination of both a fire and a hurricane, which meant that, well, extremely high temperatures were traveling at 60 to 81 miles per hour and it swept through, in some cases melting metal and granite and engine blocks. that's how hot it was. it's very delicate scene. there are toxic metals and asbestos down there. we have the epa on the scene, too. we're just being careful. as always, it's a combination of both recovery, heartache and devastation and safety. all those things happen at once. that's why sometimes people can

be frustrated. we appreciate everyone for their understanding of what we're going through. >> and our thoughts and our hearts are with you. governor, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you very much, george. >> robin? >> george, thanks. now the deadly storms overnight in the east. tens of thousands waking up without power this morning. ginger is tracking where the threat is headed next. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, robin. 88 mile per hour wind gust is an all time high wind gust for columbia, south carolina. but in north carolina it was a tree into a car that killed one person. the wind was whipping trees into vehicles and homes. also in georgia. that postal service van taken out by that tree. we will see more of that action today. it's a new system in the northern plains and northern great lakes. here are the cities that need to watch out. rochester, minnesota, eely, minnesota. right in that zone. this will sweep east tomorrow. we have to talk about heat because we keep breaking these records. new orleans has now had six days in a row at 100 plus.

a consecutive record they have never done before. tripled the old record before this summer because they just keep beating their own record. excessive heat warnings. corpus christi back up into the pacific northwest with red flag warnings, too. >> ginger, thank you very much. now the former president has been firing back online. senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has the story. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. we're still waiting to find out when former president trump and his co-defendants are going to turn themselves in to authorities here. but what is becoming clear is the scope of the charges they face and how they're beginning to defend themselves. this morning former president trump intensifying his attacks on a criminal justice system that has charged him in four places at once, lashing out on social media about a stolen election. republican governor brian kemp defending his state posting the 2020 election in georgia was not stolen. trump is charged with 13 counts

including racketeering. the indictment putting him atop a criminal organization that also includes 18 aides, attorneys and associates and 30 unnamed co-conspirators all allegedly conspireing to strong arm georgia into helping trump cling to power. rudy giuliani peddled false claims about poll workers stealing ballots. >> quite obviously passing around them as if they're vials of heroin or cocaine. >> reporter: giuliani said he's being indicted for being a lawyer. >> i was protected by the fact that i was defending him. >> reporter: mark meadows is trying to move the charges against him to federal courted, arguing that he was acting as part of his job as white house chief of staff. meadows allegedly set up the call with georgia's secretary of state. >> what are we going to do? i need 11,000 votes. fellows, i need 11,000 votes. give me a break. >> reporter: the indictment details 11 calls trump made,

allegedly trying to pressure public officials. also an aim to prosecute bogus electors. one said his conduct was lawful, appropriate and specifically authorized by the u.s. constitution. the district attorney wants to try them all together. >> do i intend to try 19 defendants in this indictment together? yes. >> reporter: the sheriff said he expects all 19 defendants to turn themselves in at the fulton county jail. the deadline noon next friday. george, the sheriff says the jail is open 24/7. george? >> we will be watching, aaron. thank you very much. let's bring in dan abrams. i want to talk about something we started talking about yesterday. we now see mark meadows former chief of staff to president trump petitioning to move this case into federal court. what are his chances? >> it's a serious motion. his basic argument is i was working for the federal government at the time. when you're a federal employee working under color of law, you're allowed to make sure your case is tried in only in federal court. now, fani willis will respond

and say he wasn't acting within the scope of his job when he did this. but he has a decent argument here. >> the president tried a similar argument in the hush money case here in manhattan. >> but two differences there. number one, he wasn't president at the time the hush money stuff happened. number two it's donald trump. donald trump has a tougher argument than the people who worked for him. the people who worked for him, i think, can say, look, he was my boss. he was telling me what to do. i was responding. i was working for the federal government. for donald trump it's a tougher argument where fani willis will say, clearly he was extending well beyond his role as president. but remember, even this department of justice under merrick garland has taken a pretty broad view of what is presidential conduct. and so these are serious arguments that the courts are going to have to validate. >> if he is convicted, he has no recourse. the president cannot pardon for state offenses.

>> correct. the president cannot pardon for state offenses. neither can the governor, per se. it has to be a five year period, georgia pardon and parole board, etc. if he's convicted in georgia, there really is no out. >> this trial is going to take a long time. >> they have another case in georgia where jury selection has already taken eight months in a major rico case. just jury selection. we have to get to jury selection first. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. michael? now to the new report about retail sales and what it could mean for interest rates. rebecca jarvis has the latest. good morning, rebecca. >> there is a reason we pay such close attention to reports like this. it's because how american consumers spend, our behavior powers about two-thirds of the entire $27 trillion economy. american consumers keep spending. why? well, inflation is lower than a year ago, even with gas prices

up $0.30 in the last month, $3.87. they are still about $0.10 lower than last summer. lot of prices are lower than last summer. average wages are growing faster than prices overall. economists see these signs as more evidence we may have avoided a much predicted recession. but they also predict that interest rates, that is the cost to borrow money, your credit card bills, will remain elevated, at least through the end of the year. robin? >> thank you. now to several incidents of tourists behaving badly. authorities in paris investigating after two americans were found sleeping in the eiffel tower. our foreign correspondent james longman has the latest for us. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this really is a wild vacation story. french authorities say two men had tickets to go to the eiffel tower sunday. then, they say, while walking back down, they jumped a set of security barriers and they were

apparently so drunk, according to the prosecutor, they ended up spending the night in a restricted area between the second and third levels of the monument. they weren't discovered until the morning when a specialist firefighter unit had to recover them. they were questioned by the police and eiffel tower authorities filed a complaint fortress pass. this is a situation that meant the opening of the eiffel tower had to be delayed and it couldn't open at 9 a.m. as planned on monday morning. but tourists are causing havoc in other parts of europe as well, behaving badly in italy. check this out. the woman in blue is caught walking across rome's historic trevi fountain, only to fill up her water bottle. a guard had to escort her away. in june, this is extraordinary, authorities say a britted tisch tourist was caught carving his name along with that of his girlfriend into the coliseum. italy is now considering a new $60,000 fine for the vandalism of historic monuments. guys?

>> what is the matter with people? >> good grief. what is going through your mind when you do something like that? >> obviously no respect. yeah. without a doubt. >> maybe the fine will help. >> we will see. coming up what north korea is saying about the american soldier who crossed the border. and the social immediate media influencer is back home after being stuck in dubai. she's telling gma her story. the family at the center of "the blind side" responding to michael oher with their own allegations. but first back to ginger. >> dallas did not drop below 80 degrees for 15 in a row. not even overnight which broke a record for a stretch. they are now 71 so they broke that with a cold front. lot of people are cool, 50s, low 60s. that's not gonna last long. big ridge building in. we're seeing serious heat for a lot of people who haven't had much of a summer. kansas city will get up close to 100. minneapolis there in the 90s. st. louis well into the 90s. a look at hawaii because they have a similar setup, albeit

admitted such. it was july 18th when travis king, released after 47 days in jail for an altercation, joined a tour group on the border and bolted to the other side. this was the last image of him that has been seen. the north koreans say that king told them he decided to cross the border because he, quote, harbored ill feelings about inhumane treatment and racial discrimination within the u.s. army. that is something his family told abc just weeks ago. >> the messages became extreme and then i was like, you okay? he's telling me, they're trying to kill me. he just continued to send these songs and speak to me. he was saying things like, said they're racist. it maybe seemed like something was going on with him, like he was fearful for his life. >> reporter: travis was supposed to return to the u.s., where he faced discharge from the army because of disciplinary problems. the pentagon says they cannot verify the north korean

>> this little restaurant is just our spot. we get a little calamari. >> so we took the calamari rings and slipped them on each other's fingers and we proposed to one another. >> back story of how robin and i met goes a little bit like this. >> it was 18 years ago. she had a friend. i had a friend. they both set us up. alex and bert were like, enough, you're going to meet. >> i remember just walking up. she's just beautiful. she took my breath away. she still does. i get butterflies when i think about it. >> there's just a gentleness to her. >> the signals were eye contact, lots of smiling. it just flowed really, really nicely. robin kind of looked over and she was like, would you like to join me for dinner? that was not in the plan. i knew, okay, yay, it's working. >> i just had just become the co-anchor with charlie and

diane. just a short time before that. she was working not far from our studio. she would purposely walk by. >> robin would walk over to the windows and wave. we would time it. >> just watch her as she would continued to walk on to work. hi. go ahead. continue to work on to work. we had only been dating not even two years when i was diagnosed with breast cancer. she could have bailed early on in the relationship. no one would have blamed her. for better, for worse. it has not always been a bed of roses. there have been some thorns. >> we faced so many challenges with katrina, the passing of her mother, robin's illness. >> for amber to be diagnosed. she lost her father right in the beginning of covid, in 2020. we went through couples counseling. what i really love about us is that we know our love is real.

we know there have been times we've had to not just fight for our lives, but fight for our love. >> we really early on learned how to become a partnership and work together, and truly, truly trust one another. and to have someone by your side like that is a gift. >> what i really appreciate most is that each one of us saved the best for last. [ cheers ] >> saved the best for last. >> that was nice. all right. after almost 20 years together, you think you two would pretty much know everything about each other, right? >> yes. >> niecy and i, we're gonna put that to the test. we have a game called the nearly newlywed game. >> before we do, can we say gayle king has made her way here. [ applause ]

[ laughter ] >> all right. let's move to the category of food, okay. when you go out to eat, who usually picks the restaurant?

look at that. >> hey, hey. i got to tell you, this group don't know y'all. [ laughter ] how did y'all get invited? [ laughter ] >> come on. come on. >> who likes it hot? food that is. who handles spicy food better? weigh in right now. >> you know. come on now. i'm from new orleans. [ laughter ] >> okay. let's keep it on food. who is more likely to raid the fridge at night? >> that went up real fast. that went up real fast. come on. >> gayle and juju are the only

ones who got it wrong. [ laughter ] >> okay. here we go. all right. i'm gonna say who -- let's move into the bedroom. relax. it's morning tv, guys. [ laughter ] who is the first one out of bed on the weekends? because we know who it is during the week. >> come on now. oh. >> shelly has it. >> robin. you're so used to waking up. i don't blame you. who takes longer to get ready for a night out? >> come on now. come on. [ laughter ] [ laughter ]

>> wow. >> which of the two of these ladies is more likely to spend the day in their pajamas? >> ooh. >> oh, yay. yes. [ laughter ] >> you can't do that. that's the single ladies answer. you need to be like that. one or the other! just making sure. all right. we're gonna shift gears. we're gonna go to cars. who is the better driver? >> oh, come on. [ laughter ] >> niecy, that was pretty good, earlier today. i saw you -- >> i played a bus driver on tv before. i rolled up. so when you are in the car together, which one of you picks the music?

oh, wait a minute! happy couple is divided now. what is going on? >> amazing. >> you said i pick the music? >> this is our first couples fight. [ laughter ] >> no, no fighting. >> oh, they fighting each other. it's getting hot over there. some of these answers. >> all right. let's see if we can get this one right. who has the better sense of direction? >> waze. waze does. [ laughter ] >> don't turn around yet. put up your paddles who you think it would be. you guys are waiting to see what they put up. >> it's robin. >> okay. >> i know the answer to this one. >> we are on the key west inspired set, so let's talk about vacations.

which of you is the more adventurous on vacation? oh! everybody said amber. [ laughter ] >> that part we do know. >> this whole thing wasn't about winning or losing. >> would you jump off a building? i don't think so, but -- [ laughter ] that was pretty big in new zealand. that was pretty big. >> this is not about winning or losing. it's about love. both of you are winners in our book. here we go. we have our -- >> what is this? >> a golden calamari. [ laughter ] i will let you present that. >> since this is how you all proposed to each other, we want to make sure you have something to put up in your house to commemorate. >> we aren't going to forget this.
