7:04 am

that's just one airline. in fact, the tsa said already this month they have had four of their ten busiest days ever. we are just getting started. this morning the travel rush is officially under way. the faa expecting more than 53,000 planes in the sky today alone, the launch point for what the tsa says will likely be the busiest summer on record. >> we'll see several, over 3 million passenger days across the entire 430 airports that are in the united states. that's a pretty big increase from last year. and last year was a big increase from the year before. so record volumes without question. >> reporter: while the agency and the airlines say they're ready for the crush of travellers, there is a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers, about 3,000 fewer than they'd like. >> that's just not sustainable. it's not good for the traveling public. it's not good for the aviation system. we've certainly done our part. we want to help the faa to make sure that they're able to provide staff at the levels we

7:05 am

need. >> reporter: airline trade association airlines for america now launching a campaign urging the department of transportation and the faa to bring in more air traffic controllers. the shortage at times blamed for cancelled and delayed flights, exhaustion among the working air traffic controllers, even forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights in the new york area. the faa also dealing with at least 23 serious close calls between planes at airports nationwide last year. >> we really need the situation to be solved. >> reporter: and to try to meet this crazy demand, a lot of airlines have been flying bigger planes. get more seats, more people on board. lot of airlines, including american, have been flying more flights outside the new york area. make sure they can get everybody where they need to go. george? >> george: trevor, thanks. let's bring in the faa administrator, michael whitaker. thank you for joining us. we just heard how busy a travel weekend this is going to be. you've been facing staffing shortages. can you handle it?

7:06 am

>> well, we're ready for this. we've planned for this. we know it's going to be a busy weekend. we're glad to see the traffic come back. our first job is safety at the faa, 45,000 employees, all hands on deck 24/7 to make sure this runs smoothly and we get everyone where they're going safely. we're watching the weather very closely. it's thunderstorm season. we've got storms from tennessee -- from texas up to maine. we're going to be working with the airlines to get them through the storms safely. >> george: i know your first concern is safety. should people be expecting delays and cancellations this weekend? >> only if it is coming from the weather. that's one thing we can't control. about 65% of cancellations come from weather. less than 1% come from staffing issues. we're not anticipating delays from staffing, but the weather is out of our control and we're just gonna try to work and navigate safely through that. >> george: let's go back to safety. what do you say to americans who are concerned what about appears to be a recent spike in incidents with the airlines?

7:07 am

>> well, we look at each incident closely. we're working closely with airlines and with manufacturers to make sure all the safety standards are met. safety's a team sport. everybody has to do their part. our job is to make sure that's being done. >> george: so much focus has been on boeing. the deadline for them to submit their plan to turn things around is next week. what are you expecting from them? >> we've been working closely with them the last 90 days on what that plan is going to look like. it's to bring the quality back to their factor reus. to bring the safety system where it needs to be. and bring the culture where it needs to be, so employees can speak up when they see something that's concerning. what we are seeing next week is the plan going forward, it's not the end of the process, it's the beginning. it's going to be a long road to get back to where they need to be making safe air planes. >> george: the airlines are sounding the alarm about staffing shortages. the air traffic control shortages. how do you respond to that campaign? what exactly are you doing now to address these shortages?

7:08 am

>> well, since i was sworn in in october, this has been a top priority. we've actually done quite a bit. we have worked to make sure we can hire directly from the military more efficiently. we are working with universities to allow direct hiring through there. we're keeping our own academy at capacity. so we are hiring at capacity. it takes a long time to make an air traffic controller. takes a lot of training. could be 18 to 24 months. we are not going to rush that. we've got the pipeline we need. now it's time to train those employees and get them in the towers. >> george: mr. whitaker, thanks for your time. robin? >> robin: all right, george. thanks very much. now to the best and worst times to hit the road and the best time to go. morgan norwood is tracking the latest. >> reporter: the holiday rush already beginning to get under way. while we expect millions to take to the skies, far more will be driving. aaa predicts 38.4 million people

7:10 am

morning. everyone knows justice alito is a staunch conservative, but this morning more questions are being raised about whether he has political bias with two critical january 6 cases now before the u.s. supreme court. this morning only days after it was revealed that supreme court justice samuel alito flew a flag associated with january 6th rioters at his virginia home, he's facing new questions about another flag tied to supporters of president trump. the new york times publishing images of a pine try flag outside his new jersey beach home last summer with the words appeal to heaven. like the upside down flag which had become synonymous with the stop the steal movement and flown in alito's home t pine tree flag was carried by some pro trump supporters on january 6th as the capitol was attacked. take a look at these images and you will see both flags clearly on display on january 6th as the mayhem unfolded. it's unclear who posted the pine tree flag and what kind, if any, statement, was being made.

7:11 am

the pine tree flag dates back to the revolutionary war and was flown on war ships commissioned under george washington. but in recent years the symbol has been associated with christian nationalism. supreme court justices are supposed to avoid the appearance of political bias and democrats have already argued alito should recuse himself from the january 6th cases now before the high court, including one which will resolve whether president trump has immunity from prosecution. this week democrats pounced on alito's upside down flag controversy, raising questions about political bias. >> look, i think what he did was really the wrong thing to do, and it cast some doubt on impartiality and i'm discussing with senator durbin where we should go from here. >> reporter: alito said the flag was placed at his home by his wife, who was in a dispute with a neighbor. justice alito has yet to comment on the latest flag questions, though supreme court decisions

7:12 am

on january 6th are expected in the coming days and weeks, michael. >> michael: thank you very much. we're going to turn to another round of severe weather. tornados striking texas overnight as parts of iowa that were hard hit this week clean up the wreckage. victor oquendo is on the scene in greenfield, iowa. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this is what an ef-3 tornado can do. these were homes and businesses levelled, ripped to shreds. while the residents pick up the pieces, overnight another round of severe weather. overnight, three possible tornados touch down in texas leaving over 100,000 customers without power. in bell county -- >> all the power lines are down. >> reporter: -- a possible tornado tore through, levelling homes and businesses. in neighboring arkansas, debris flying through the air as powerful storms pounced. meanwhile, in iowa, greenfield banding

7:13 am

together after much of the town was reduced to rubble, following a deadly ef-3 tornado tuesday. overnight, authorities confirming at least four people were killed, 35 injured, with a fifth person killed about 25 miles from greenfield. the hospital so badly damaged it's expected to be closed for months. do you recognize any of this stuff you see here? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: jay harder and dwon cam raised their two daughters in their house of 26 years. >> i just couldn't believe something could do this. >> reporter: joe newell lived in this home for 50 years and thought she lost everything. you have found a few things. >> yes. >> reporter: show us. >> my wedding band. >> reporter: a small fraction of her life still here. can you believe you were able to find all this? >> no, nope. glad to have it back. >> reporter: joan also found her wedding album. it was about 300 yards away from her home. fema will be on the ground here today in greenfield.

the white house says that they are ready, willing to support this community as needed. robin? >> robin: and they do have great need there. all right, victor. thank you. ginger, back in the studio. she's tracking where the severe weather is headed next. such an active tornado season. >> ginger: it is. we had some slow years. what's really remarkable is we were below average going into may. then the last month we have seen more than half of the tornado count of the 705 we've seen. it's been very busy just the last few weeks. average 578 through the end of may. unfortunately, we're gonna keep pumping this number up. going through this weekend we have day after day after day of not just severe storms but a tornado threat. let's talk about it. fargo down to waco and dallas, today damaging wind, lincoln, omaha, kansas. but remember, this is the weekend where everybody makes plans to go outside, to have barbecues. most of the days start with sunshine. that's the fuel for a tornado or severe thunderstorm that has winds at 70 plus. we've got friday storms that

7:15 am

include chicago for travel. note that, down to dallas. but then, this is the part. saturday and sunday. i want everybody here from eastern kansas right through oklahoma, missouri, arkansas and into that paducah, kentucky, area. that's what i'm concerned with. sunday looking really big and all the days leading up to it. we'll have more numbers adding to that count. >> robin: all right, ginger. thank you. high winds leading to a deadly stage collapse in mexico leaving at least nine dead, sending dozens to the hospital. matt rivers is following the latest on this for us. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. mexico's elections will take place june 2nd. political rallies in full swing across the country. unfortunately, overnight one of those rallies did turn deadly. we have some video to show you. it happened in northern mexico at a rally for a long shot presidential candidate. in the video posted on x, you can see the moment a strong wind gust topples the stage. people scrambling to get out of the way of the collapsing canopy, while others screaming and running for cover. at least nine people killed and

7:16 am

dozens sent to the hospital. among the dead, one minor. rescue teams working throughout the night pulling people from under the stage which had been erected on a baseball field. winds up to 35 miles an hour were expected. as rescue efforts continue, and because there are still dozens of people in the hospital, unfortunately, that death toll could very well rise. guys? >> michael: unexpected tragedy there. thank you so much for that, matt. now to the college team watching their golf clubs get tossed on the tarmac with a national championship on the line. i'm not playing for a national championship, neither is george, but we would be angry at what happened here, will. >> yeah, michael. good morning, everybody. with the memorial day travel rush really heating up right now, luggage handling is top of mind for a lot of travellers. for golfers, if you're a golfer, as many of us here are, this

7:17 am

makes your stomach drop and blood boil. same goes if you're just a person who values your stuff. this video from the east tennessee state golf team has been making the rounds with many millions of views. those are delta baggage handlers just tossing those team's clubs off the plane. they were frustrated. swinging them all over the tarmac as the players watched in horror. the team was on their way to the ncaa division i golf tournament. reportedly some clubs were damaged. delta posting an apology on social media saying, quote, we're so sorry. it's not who we are and that they're working to make it right. in a statement the airline also asking for a mulligan. the ncaa golf tournament begins tomorrow. [ laughter ] >> robin: explain for those who don't know -- >> a mulligan is a do-over. if i were a golfer whose 6 iron got snapped, i would ask them to play it as it lies. >> george: well done, will.

7:33 am

obtained by cnn showing her then boyfriend, sean diddy combs, at tacking his then girlfriend cassie ventura. in an instagram post, cassie writes domestic violence is the issue. it broke me down to someone i never thought i would become. with a lot of hard work, i am better today, but i will always be recovering from the past. this comes as combs faces another civil lawsuit, his sixth, alleging that in 2003 the hip hop mogul drugged and sexually assaulted crystal mckinney. she was the winner of model mission, she was 22 when she claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by combs after meeting him at a 2003 fashion week event in new york city. in her lawsuit, mckinney says later that night at combs' recording studio, she was pressured to consume alcohol and marijuana, including a joint she claims was laced and became very intoxicated. mckinney said the rapper forced her to perform a sex act adding afterwards she passed out in his studio before she awakened in

7:35 am

>> mounting lawsuits against sean combs creates more civil liability, more money he has to pay out if he loses. but knowing there's a federal investigation against sean combs involving human trafficking and other sexual assault allegations, this just adds more fuel to the fire for that investigation. >> we should note even though the criminal statute of limitations has expired, new york's gender motivated violence protection act allows accusers to file civil lawsuits during a limited window which expires in 2025. we know this sixth lawsuit is adding to his legal woes. guys? >> robin: it is. juju, thank you. new details from the singapore airlines flight that experienced severe turbulence. we're hearing from an american family that was on board after the mother and father suffered severe injuries. trevor ault is back with more for us. good morning again, trevor. >> reporter: good morning again, robin. yeah, the videos and the after math of this deadly turbulence are astounding. we know the damage is

7:37 am

from 2009 to 2022, there were 163 injuries from turbulence just in the u.s. last year several passengers were hospitalized on a flight from texas to germany. and eight people were injured on this jet blue flight from ecuador to florida. some researchers believe these types of incidents may be increasing in severity due to climate change. >> at the most basic level, climate change is putting more energy into the atmosphere. more energy in the atmosphere means more storms so it affects our weather, but also way up there at cruising altitudes, it means more turbulence. >> reporter: research from the web side shows recently the most turbulent routes in the u.s. have been on the eastern portion of the country. nashville to raleigh durham registered as the most turbulent route in the u.s. with charlotte to pittsburgh not too far behind. while extreme turbulence is still very rare, the main take away from the airports is it is always a smart idea to make sure your seat belt

7:42 am

prices, joining us now is an abc news exclusive with the ceo of discount grocer aldi, the fastest growing grocery chain in the country. jason, thank you for being with us. good morning to you. >> good morning, michael. thanks for having us. >> michael: we are finally getting good news that grocery prices are falling. what's the outlook on prices for the rest of the summer? >> yeah, it's really good news. inflation is lessening. but the consumer is still stressed by the higher cost of living as a result of the inflation the last couple of years. so the consumer is still looking for low price. they're shopping private label. they're comparing price, shopping more stores. they're really looking to aldi as we're the low price leader. we're continuing to lean in on price. that's why our customer traffic has been way up. our growth is accelerating. 25% of u.s. customers now shop at aldi. that's twice what it was just six years ago. aldi is built to fight inflation. our business model, based on simplicity and efficiency,

7:43 am

provides savings for customers and also saves them time when they're shopping with their grocery list. >> michael: consumers are shopping around more than they ever have to find the best deals. what trends are you seeing in your stores right now? >> yeah, the trends that we're seeing is they're gravitating to our summer price reductions. we just dropped about 250 items across the stores, most popular for summer. focused on fresh meat, snacks for the summer road trip. our fresh meat prices are lower than they were last year. our sales are up 30%. couple proof points, we've got our boneless skinless chicken breast at $2.19 a pound. since we've marked that product down it's up 50% in movement. that's just showing the popularity of low prices and the popularity of aldi is as high as it's ever been. our growth is accelerating across our 2,400 stores. that consumer demand is really what's motivating us with our growth plans over the next five

7:44 am

years to open up 800 more stores across the country. a big catalyst for that was our big acquisition in the southeast. that's going to enable us to really accelerate our growth, cover more white spots on the map in the southeast and open up more store force consumers. >> michael: 800 stores, southeast, going to get their first aldi. to try to get some of these low prices that you're offering there. target and wal-mart, they're also offering a lot of new ways for the consumer to save money. what's gonna set aldi apart? >> you know, what sets aldi apart, low prices is what we're all about. it's not something we do if it's trendy or if the business traffic is suffering like i think it is in some of the competitors and fast food places. we're all about low prices. it's in our dna. it's what drives customers to our store. really, that business model that we have that's focused on private label prices. that's focused on a lower skew count that keeps our business and suppliers efficient.

7:45 am

that's what keeps us apart, sets us apart. it's really the time and the savings that consumers can have on their shopping list that sets aldi apart. the proof is in the results, in the traffic that continues to increase in our stores. >> michael: looking at the low prices now, prices are dropping now. some lawmakers blame corporate greed for higher prices in the first place. are these price cuts by you and some of your competitors just a sign that companies went too far in raising prices? >> you know, we don't really focus on what the competition is doing. we're focused on what consumers want and need. before the consumer was stressed with the inflation, we were still about low price. but those low prices become even more important, as value is more top of mind for the consumer. so our actions are all based on consumer demand. we're always looking for opportunities to lower prices, to reduce our cost of doing business, to reduce our cost of product and to lean in on lower prices. >> michael: lower prices make consumers happy. thank you very much, mr. hart. appreciate your time this

once you get that save the date, consider it the starting point to put money aside every month for the bridesmaids festivities. it is easier to put $20 aside a month than hundreds or thousands at once. if using a credit card, prioritize paying off that high interest debt first and whenever you can pay more than your minimum balance. guys? >> george: lot of good advice there. >> michael: we are all excited about this one. thank you, elizabeth. >> robin: who knew? wow. >> michael: expensive. >> robin: you should be able to -- if you are asked to be in a wedding, that means you are a good friend. you should be able to tell your friend, i can't do this. >> michael: also you know your friends' situations, too. if you're that close. i almost feel like what you can ask and what you shouldn't ask financially. >> george: yeah, yeah. we're going to turn now to our series the new gender gap. it reveals how boys are falling behind girls in school. we'll tell you what parents can do to help. juju chang back with us.

8:17 am

hey, juju. >> good morning, george. you know as the mother of three boys, i'm obsessed with this particular gender gap. whether it's in the classroom culture or broader culture, research suggests that boys are underperforming girls. they are all small fixes parents can do to help all our kids. when 16-year-old luke robinson was in 8th grade, he realized he needed help to have more success in school. >> my grades and everything were actually pretty good. i noticed that i just really wasn't having any leftover time. like, i would be finishing my homework close to 10 p.m. >> one of the big challenges for boys is procrastination. sometimes in the boy's mind, it's about being bored. but really, if you dig a little, what's actually going on is there's a lot of stress. that stress leads to avoidance. unfortunately, that avoidance leads to more stress. >> reporter: procrastination, organization, and time management, just some of the many struggles staff show impact boys far more than girls. in recent years, fewer boys

8:18 am

graduate high school than girls. boys are less likely to enroll in college. >> luke was getting some things done, but it was painful. i don't think it needed to be that painful. it wasn't just painful for him. it was painful to us as parents at the end of the day. >> reporter: i feel your pain. i feel your pain. >> yeah yeah. very very very much. so those skills were things that were organizational skills. >> reporter: for luke, who received tutoring from beyond book smart developing executive function skills was key. >> when they're really, really little, what kids need is a skill of impulse control. learning how to tolerate a no. as they get older, it's learning to follow routines. you get a little older, you get into middle school, it's more about attention and managing distractions. by the time they're in high school and college, it's being able to independently understand where it's worth spending time. so prioritizing and then completing the job. >> reporter: another key to luke's success? something pros call

8:19 am

habit stacking. >> habit stacking is basically stacking a habit on top of another habit. the habit i was trying to create was brushing my teeth and making my bed and switching out my backpack. that was my habit stacking there. >> reporter: did it stick? >> yeah. i stopped forgetting folders. >> he's being modest. he was honor roll last semester. >> reporter: well done. >> thank you. >> luke says he's now tackling assignments in bite size pieces before deadline pressure hits. it reduces the stress. and, of course, we all know when you're not cramming you do better. >> george: no question about it. what are the best steps for people to take? >> luke's mom lisa loves a tool, the pomodora technique. it's planning out fixed timers. like setting a timer for 25 minutes and then taking a break. it's basically like a high intensity interval train. right? you get to reduce your procrastination, allows everyone to more consciously focus on your task. another tip is to work smarter not harder. there are free online programs. my boys use quiz list. >> george: mine, too.

8:20 am

>> right? what it allows kids to do is create digital flash cards so you can quiz yourself and quiz others. it's all free. >> george: thank you, juju. >> you're welcome. >> george: ginger? >> ginger: i'm taking notes. thank you all very much. all right. the summit at snowqualmie usually sees dusting of snow on the peaks. but to get it at the base camp, they don't see that very often. they can't remember in decades. we have some video of that. that spring snow still into the rockies. when all said and done, some places up to foot and a half. at the same time, we've got red flag warnings with wind, low humidity and heat building for new mexico, parts of west texas. today dallas ft. worth later this afternoon, if you have flights early you should be all right. but then look for the potential for a ground stop where you get the lightning around. damaging winds in nebraska and kansas. we've had severe thunderstorms north of new york city. those storms will keep moving through early afternoon. let's get a chec
