going to shake it off. why the biggest pop tar in the world says she's taking a stand and pulling all her songs this morning from spotify. what this could mean for how all of us buy our music. ♪ and good morning, america. lots to get to this election morning and, robin, you are back from a big night for our friend, michael. there's the towel. a gift you brought back for me. check this out, guys. >> hall of fame ring he got last night. >> i could fit it around my whole hand. right here. look at that thing. >> michael, great to see you last night running out between all those former teammates of yours. >> thank you, thank you. >> your parents were there. i mean, that was a great moment there at halftime. >> you know what, first of all, thank you, you guys, for coming. really awesome to have you there

and be a part of it. just to see all my teammates and the fans, then you play for, play with, it was the highlight of my life and, you know, everybody gets this. every other weekend we'll rotate the ring. >> all right. >> your speech was spot-on. we'll share a bit of that later. >> thank you. >> can't wait for that. we are going to begin with this big national election. your voice, your vote. a live look at the white house right now. president obama is going to stay home today as millions head to the polls. he is not on the ballot but this election with so much at stake is very much about him and his policies. abc's jon karl is here. it could shake up the president's final two years in office. >> george, this will go a long way towards defining president obama's last two years in office and while he hasn't been on the ballot this election has seemed one all about the president. this morning, president obama is playing a starring role in elections across the country. >> obama's senator, not yours.

>> pryor, o-b-a-m-h. >> reporter: they have painted this election as a referendum on obama prompting even some democrats to run their own ads criticizing the president. >> i'm not barack obama. >> the administration's policies are simply wrong. >> reporter: michelle nunn in georgia aired this ad to show a photo of her with president obama is not what it seems. >> but what he doesn't tell you is that it was taken at an event honoring president bush. >> reporter: the president recently played right into the republican game plan. >> i'm not on the ballot this fall but make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. every single one of them. >> reporter: in race after race republican candidates have made sure everybody saw that. >> these policies are on the ballot. >> reporter: the president is n unpopular nationally, but even more unpopular in states with competitive senate races. >> you don't agree that the president's been considered politically toxic to many of those democrats running? >> it won't surprise you to hear

that i do not agree with that assessment. >> reporter: i think you'd expect him to say that. i don't know what else he could say of the you're over at the map. what are the key races you'll be looking at tonight when we think about this control of the senate which hangs in the balance. >> reporter: you have 16 states where you could see party control change. 13 are held by democrats but if you want to see if republicans get control, here are three states to watch most closely, first of all, colorado. this is a state that went twice for barack obama. it's where he accepted the democratic nomination in 2008 but as you can see the republican cory gardner has a slight edge and a slight edge in the early vote and could win there. iowa, this is the state that really gave birth to the obama candidacy in 2008 when he beat hillary clinton. it's neck and neck. if anything you've seen some momentum on the republican side with joni ernst. if republicans win both of those states they will win control of the senate. but there is a wild card here. kansas. this is a state that is about as republican as they get. they haven't defeated a republican senator here since

1932 but look at this. an independent, orman, greg orman who could win this race and then there's an all-out bidding war because he hasn't said whether or not he would caucus with democrats or republicans. he could hold the balance of power on election night. >> and on top of that could be runoffs in louisiana and georgia in december and january, which means we may not know who will control the senate for awhile. >> reporter: i think there is a very good chance we will have no idea at the end of the night would will control the senate. >> let me bring in matt dowd. you saw how disillusioned americans are with president obama and how much a factor this was. this is a broader rejection election. >> i think it's an election about how sour the country is and about both parties. neither party in the aftermath of this election is going to be embraced by the country. the president for the second midterm in a row for him can win a presidential election usually going away for the second midterm. this is a rejection of him and his leadership because he is the democratic party and the democratic party is likely to lose seats.

>> that's what it's looking like. ahead to 2016. a new poll out this morning which shows hillary clinton far more popular than her potential republican opponents right now and in many ways, today's midterm is the starting time for 2016. >> it will begin before the polls close tonight. all these candidates will be in their rooms, potential candidates and i think the biggest question mark in this whole thing is hillary clinton. democrats will pivot off her and republicans will. she is the candidate most popular and i think at that point is that decision she has to make is everything else falls from there. the dominos fall based on hillary clinton. >> okay, matt dowd. thanks very much. you'll be here and jon karl will be here. we'll have our special election hour. seven hours of breaking news across all our platforms. pri primetime special at 10:00 p.m. we're covering it more deeply than ever before. >> and you'll be back with the latest. a scandal rocking the air force. two commanders in charge of our nuclear missiles have been

fired. the military calling it a loss of confidence in their leadership. this is the latest setback for this group of elite officers and abc's martha raddatz is here, has the latest. good morning, martha. >> i think people forget that there are 450 nuclear tipped missiles across america's plains. i was there last year visiting one of those nuclear facilities. they had real leadership problems then. they have real leadership problems now. apparently these two commanders relieved of duty one for saying to a pregnant air force worker that her career would be negatively affected by pregnancy and also some verbal abuse and have had real problems with gambling, drugs, alcohol and cheating. they're trying to clean that up right now. >> people want to know, are the missiles secure when you have this behavior? >> one of the things they told me is absolutely this will not affect the security and we're thankful for that. >> yeah, that's a small thing to be thankful for -- a big thing

to be thankful for. you'll be part of our election coverage. you know it's election day when we're all here. >> all excited about the evening. >> we might take a little nap this afternoon. >> maybe a little one. we'll turn now to that desperate search for a young woman violently abducted off a philadelphia street. you see her forced into a car. the whole scene caught on camera. abc's reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: kidnapping on camera. police say you're watching the chilling moment an unidentified man snatches 22-year-old carlesha freeland-gaither, off a quiet street in germantown, pennsylvania, just before 10:00 sunday night and then drags her kicking and screaming to his car. keep watching as the struggle ensues. carlesha nearly breaks free but then just off camera, her kidnapper manages to shove her into the vehicle. you can see the trunk shaking as police say carlesha struggles even busting out one of the car's windows but it's not enough. the video ends as the car takes

off. both carlesha and her kidnapper gone without a trace. >> you can see she's putting up a fight and putting up a heck of a struggle. but he's able to get her into the vehicle. >> reporter: this morning both police and the fbi are pouring over the video and say the abductant appears to be video. >> you'll see him parking, exiting then walking back up the block and waiting on this young lady as she approaches the intersection there and crosses over, the male, he then follows her and then he grabbed her. >> reporter: at the scene carlesha's glasses and cell phone. we're learned she moved into the neighborhood just two months ago and was walking home from a party for her godson. the street quiet, but not deserted. you can see one driver pulls up just as carlesha and her kidnapper disappears off frame. a person on foot shows up too. and police say witnesses have come forward saying they heard carlesha screaming for help. >> this is a joint effort doing everything that we possibly can to find her. >> reporter: carlesha's devastated father also hanging

up flyers and he has a message for that mysterious man. >> i just want her to come back home safe. i don't care what anybody have to do, just come home. that's all i'm asking. >> reporter: philadelphia police are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction. police say they are looking for a ford taurus silver or gray with two busted out windows on the driver and passenger side, george. >> thanks very much. to amy with today's other top stories. good morning, everyone. we begin with some unusual sightings lighting up the night sky. police dash cam in west virginia caught this bright light, look at that. more than 200 sightings reported across 13 states. nasa says it was likely a meteor. a similar fireball was seen streaking across the sky over japan monday night setting social media ablaze with witness accounts. in chicago, however, this light moved slowly across the sky. that is says that may have just been a piece of space junk.

all right. lots of different explanations there. you be the judge. just as millions of americans plan their travel for the holiday, the government is suing southwest airlines this morning claiming the airline failed to properly make important safety repairs. southwest is fighting back. abc's david kerley joins us now with the details. good morning. >> reporter: amy, as you mentioned it involves 737s which the faa says are improperly repaired. it warns southwest about this but the airline put the planes back in service anyway. this morning, the government is suing southwest for $12 million, that's the second biggest fine ever against an airline. it was announced this summer but southwest disputes the faa findings and has refused to pay. now, started back in 2006 a contractor in evert, washington, was replacing the aluminum skin on 44 jets but the faa says when the workers put in a sealant and adhesive in the joint they didn't put these rivets in fast enough to ensure a good seal so that moisture wouldn't get in there. southwest says it is looking forward to defending its record

in court against the government. amy. >> all right, david kerley, thanks so much. and from planes to cars, the government is investigating whether honda failed to report deaths and injuries resulting from defective air bags made by the japanese company takata. 5 million hondas have been recalled. north carolina, a group of good samaritans jumped into action after a pickup truck dashed into a gas station. surveillance video capturing the moment the truck sped into the station slammed into a pump and burst into flames. bystanders rushed in saving the father and son inside. the father had suffered a seizure behind the wheel but is now recovering, thanks to the help of those good samaritans. president obama has declared a disaster on hawaii's big island where lava flowing from the kilauea volcano is threatening a small town. the lava is now taking over a swamp boiling the water. the disaster declaration frees up federal money to protect the town. and finally, a violent felon who escaped from a florida prison has been recaptured. ronald mccoy was serving life

for armed robbery but lucky for authorities mccoy proved worthy of our ever-growing dumb criminal file. after three days on the lam police easily spotted him at a gas station, why, you ask, because he was still wearing his prison uniform. >> oh. >> three days later after escaping. forgot that small detail. he low. i just escaped it prison, everyone. >> okay is the new black. >> really? >> wasn't it like halloween around that time. maybe they thought it was a costume. >> we had some smart police officers thank god, capturing that dumb criminal. >> love the file. >> all right. let's move on now to a big battle brewing in the music twist. taylor swift abruptly pulling health care workers all of her bups from the streaming service spotify days after the release of her hot new album "1989." well, now spotify is working hard to try to win her back and rebecca jarvis has our story. ♪ never ever

>> reporter: it looks like taylor swift is never ever getting back together with spotify. the number one streaming service in the world. after swift and her music label abruptly pulled her entire catalog from the service which has 40 million subscribers. swift has never seemed a big fan of streaming services writing in "the wall street journal" last year piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically and every artist has handled this differently" it sets up a showdown with apple where swift's music is still available on itunes. for her new album "1989" the singer had an exclusive agreement for a track by track release on itunes. and on beats, a streaming service which apple acquired last january, "1989" has had an incredible opening week run with 1.3 million copies sold. but swift didn't release "1989" on the service.

insiders speculate swift has always been weary of spotify, initially refusing to release her 2012 album "red" to the service. spotify says they hope swift will change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. and from what i'm hearing this morning taylor swift isn't the only artist planning to go this exclusive route. rumor has it beyonce's new album will drop november 14th, also exclusively on itunes and the thing is this changes how we listen to music and also can change how we pay for music. what we pay for music most importantly. >> stay tuned. that's for sure, rebecca, thanks very much. to that special night for our guy, michael strahan. number 92 in your program, number 1 in your heart, that man right there. he is a hall of famer, got the ring last night to prove it, it was a beautiful ceremony.

[ cheers and applause ] >> with these guys who are up here with me to lead the way to inspire me to be the absolute best i could be and the reason we did it is because we did it for the most important people who come in the stadium every sunday and that is you, the fans! so, i know you have your rally towels. i know you want to wave it for me and my number but that means

nothing, wave those towels for every player who's ever put on this uniform for every fan who's ever rooted for this team, because we are the new york giants! >> there for michael, his proud parents and his 19-year-old son, michael jr. >> steps up under pressure and he'sing haved by michael strahan. >> through 15 bone-crushing seasons, michael didn't just play the game, he dominated it. >> intercepted by michael strahan. >> now our guy takes his spot in history. >> you come out here and play for them and i couldn't ask for anything better so it was awesome. [ cheers and applause ] >> it was quite a scene. it was. [ applause ] >> let me say this, you have made a seamless transition to this next phase of your life but it was so great to be on your turf last night. ginger and i felt to be on your turf literally last night and

see your family and it was just -- i hope that you were able to embrace that moment too. >> yeah, i was able to enjoy it. i'm glad you both came. i really am. only thing i wish i could have done thought about too late, put on my uniform and ran out there, yeah. but then i probably would have been tempted to play and i wouldn't be here this morning because i wouldn't be able to move. >> they would have wanted you to play after that game last night. >> possibly would have made me play. >> thursday if you want. >> no, george. halloween is over, no reason to wear the uniform. i don't want to be that dumb criminal. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> i appreciate it. thank you very much. ginger, you're paying special attention to texas. >> yes, going close to your hometown of houston. a little more michael but certainly the flash flood watches what we are watching in the plains through the midwest, we have this line of heavy rain and storms coming flew and the flash flood watch includes san antonio and austin. some could top 7 inches, a lot of that moisture coming from hurricane vance that will make landfall in mexico early

>> reporter: this morning a jury is expected to be seated for this high-profile trial. two of four former vanderbilt football players accused in the alleged sexual assault of a young woman in a school dorm. >> when did you first learn that your athletic scholarship was potentially at risk? >> when i spoke with coach franklin. >> reporter: brandon vanden berg and cory beatty, the first to stand trial and facing multiple counts of aggravated rape and sexual battery, both pleading not guilty. >> i don't see a major problem here. >> reporter: police say the vic was vandage berg's former girfriend and the most explosive evidence the jury is expected to see, some of what happened was caught on the dorm surveillance videos and police say vanden berg took pictures of the sexual assault on his cell phone and sent around to friends. >> i found images of the victim being brutally raped off of your defendant's cell phone. >> reporter: in june of 201 police say vanden berg just 20 years old and his then girlfriend were coming back to gillette hall after a night of

heavy drinking. police say the surveillance video shows the young man carrying her limp body to vapiden berg's second floor room where three of the men are accused of raping her but vapiden berg's defense attorney says that video doesn't tell the full story. >> we're missing some angles that we've been told we were missing so we want to see where those cameras are and see what people viewed. >> reporter: defense lawyers for the player say the young men were too drunk to remember what happened that night. if convicted they could spend decades in jail. for "good morning america," steve osunsami. >> dan abrams joins us now. we saw there the two men on trial. can't remember what happened that night. apparently the alleged victim can't remember what happened either so how does that impact the case. >> you'll have different kinds of defenses for these two defendants. but let's start with the fact that the alleged victim here says she doesn't remember anything. ordinarily that would be a huge hurdle to overcome in a case like this. except it seeps that in this case they have photographs, they have video.

they have testimony of someone who may allege that he helped cover up after the fact and that's going to be the key is going to be their text messages, et cetera, after the fact that are going to be crucial pieces of evidence in this case so you may not even need her testimony. >> but you say two different defenses? that's right, because there are two people of four on trial right now. one of them is not even accused of a forcible sexual act. he's the one who actually had some relationship with this woman and it seeps he's more accused of helping organizing, et cetera, in this but still charged with exactly the same crime. his defense, it seems is going to be i didn't have the intent, i was too drunk, i didn't know what was happening, et cetera. one of the other defendants who is charged with a forcible sexual act, we don't know exactly what the defense is going to be. i would expect it's going to be some version of consent. expect that all the defense attorneys are going to be putting the police and prosecutors on trial. you already heard it in that

sound bite there where they're questioning why they didn't get certain evidence, where other evidence is or isn't. but they're going to have to do more here than just challenge the police and prosecutors. >> vanderbilt's role could be an issue, as well. >> the defense is actually saying that when these students were questioned by the vanderbilt authorities that they were coerced into saying things that they wouldn't have ordinarily said so it's the reverse here. the defendants saying the university was too tough on us. >> a lot at play here. dan abrams, thanks very much. to ginger with the weather. >> let's talk freeze, yes, freeze in the southeast. how about we look at places like south carolina and georgia. south georgia even in that frost advisory this morning but things, they are about to cook and warm up. you know, last weekend columbia, south carolina, had their first and earliest ever trace of snow. today into the 70s. louisville, 67. all ahead of the front this mild air pushes up into the northeast and even parts of new england. but behind it, it is far from mild. look at the numbers. these are windchills and thought
