This morning were hearing from the man who started it all. And were fighting in a Grocery Store we do say good morning, america. Good to be with you on this thursday morning. Another late night for you, george. It was. But it did end a little bit earlier. They actually ended the debate three minutes early. I dont know if thats ever happened before. Three minutes of extra sleep. First we talk about the hurricane bearing down on the gulf coast. We are going to talk about the hurricane, robin. Its called hurricane delta. It is gaining strength and its expanding overnight in the gulf of mexico bringing a possible lifethreatening storm surge. Those hard hit areas that were just ravaged by hurricane laura a few weeks ago. Ginger will bring more on that. First, the fallout from last nights faceoff. The Vice President ial debate just like Everything Else dominated by the pandemic, saw the plexiglass shields in place. The minutadministrations recor front and sunner. It was a much more civil debate but last week but the exchanges were sharp an substantive even if many of the moderators questions went unanswered. Mary bruce is in Salt Lake City and as george said the president ial debate a little different from what we saw last week in the faceoff there. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. There was a very different debate last night. We just learned it may be the last debate. The commission announcing the next debate is going to be virtual and already President Trump is saying if thats the case he is going to pass. He will not attend next weeks debate. This morning President Trump says if the next debate is virtual he will not do it. The commission announcing the next face off will be virtual with the candidates participating from separate remote locations. Saying the decision was made to protect the health and safety of all involved. Bidens team says hes still in. The pandemic upending this race. Taking center stage at the Vice President ial match up. The American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in the history of our country. Reporter separated by plexiglass and sitting over 12 feet apart the california senator accusing Vice President mike pence and the white house of keeping americans in the dark. They knew what was happening and they didnt tell you. They knew and they covered it up. Reporter pence pulling from the president s playbook claiming a vaccine is right around the corner. We believe well have literally tens of millions of doses of a vaccine before the end of this year. Reporter but experts say it likely wont be widely available until several months into next year. With the outbreak at the white house growing, pence asked to explain how did this happen. That rose garden event, a great deal of speculation about it. Many of the people who were at that event, susan, actually were tested for coronavirus, and it was an outdoor event which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise. Reporter but no social distancing and very few masks and he failed to mention the celebration included an intimate indoor reception, instead saying americans should be free to make their own decisions about how to protect themselves from the virus. It has already infected 7. 5 Million People across the country. The difference is President Trump and i trust the American People to make choices in the best interest of their health. Reporter over and over again both candidates dodging questions. Harris ripping into pence for trying to dismantle obamacare. If you have a preexisting condition, theyre coming for you. If you love someone who has a preexisting condition, theyre coming for you. Reporter pence said they have a plan to cover people with preexisting conditions, but wouldnt say what that plan is. Instead pushing harris on whether a Biden Administration would pack the Supreme Court. People are voting right now. They would like to know if you and joe biden are going to pack the Supreme Court if you dont get your way in this nomination. Lets talk about packing. Joe biden gave a nonanswer. Reporter the debate a stark contrast to the clash between President Trump and joe biden with a return to civility. I want to congratulate you on the historic nature of your nomination. Thank you. Reporter this morning the trump team is saying instead of attending next weeks debate the president s campaign will hold a rally instead ichlts ts unclea the president will be attending. Hes been itching to get out there, even as he battles this virus. George . Lets get more on this. Senator booker you saw senator harris the prosecute the case on covid. You heard the response from Vice President pence. Said the Biden Administration would do basically what the Trump Administration has already done. He even included that dig on plagiarism. Yeah, it was a catastrophic failure on this Trump Administration and Kamala Harris really aptly pointed that out. Even the moderator said how could we as a nation be so far out of step, so many more deaths, so many more infections than even our neighbor to the north, canada . And unfortunately, pence couldnt provide an answer of why the death rates under their leadership are so high. In fact, he cant even provide an answer to the they cant even abide by their own recommendations and have created a superspreader event in what should be the most secure part of america which is the white house. Sara fagan, Vice President pence was able to make a more forceful case on the economy and taxes than President Trump did last week in that debate. Did this debate make any difference . Did it alter the trajectory of this race which is really moving against the president and the Vice President . Well, i think it stopped the bleeding. I think Vice President pence gave the best economic argument. He said the economy is on the ballot. The american comeback is on the ballot. He made the best case tying tax policy, climate policy, the green new deal. He really had senator harris on the defensive. The only point either of them was on the defensive i thought all night was on that economic section. She was uncomfortable with her answer on taxes. She kept coming back to it and we need to hear more of the economy from the president and the Vice President. Its how they will get those republicans, the 10 of republicans who today are not voting for donald trump. Like his policies dont like him necessarily. Thats how they can win them back. Senator booker, two debates now in a row where neither Vice President biden nor senator harris would answer that question about what democrats are going to do if, indeed, Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed in these next couple of weeks. Will democrats pack the court . Well, again, this is a stacking of hypotheticals. It is distracting from what theyre trying to do right now. The majority of americans do not want them to jam this Supreme Court justice through. They want us to stop it, and im not going to concede that shes going to get on the court because this is wrong. Its wrong according to Lindsey Grahams rule and Mitch Mcconnells rule of how we should handle it. How do you stop it . Lets focus on where we are, and the reality is this is wrong and our health care as a result as Kamala Harris said plainly, this is a person that has been hostile towards the Affordable Care act. President trump has been trying to tear it down. It involves everything from our preexisting conditions to lifetime caps, it is just sad what theyre trying to do, and im going to go to work next week in the Committee Hearings to try to stop it. Sara fagan, probably the biggest unanswered question was on health care by mike pence. He keeps talking about this plan to protect preexisting conditions coming from the president and the Vice President. Its now almost four years into the administration. The president has promised it many, many times. Its not there and they are in the court trying to strike down obamacare. They should put out a plan. Theres no question about it. I think its a weakness. I dont know that itll come in the next few weeks. But having said that, the president and the Vice President and virtually every republican on the ballot has made very clear that they support protecting preexisting conditions. Its been universal. So the notion you know, i thought that a weak moment for senator harris was when she said theyre coming for you. Theyre coming for you. Those kind of scare tactics, i dont think are helpful in politics. But i do think the president should put out his health care plan. Thank you both very much. Michael . Thank you, george. Now we turn to the growing outbreak in washington. At least 34 people connected to the white house now testing positive for the virus. President trump returning to the oval office and claiming an experimental drug cured him. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega is in washington with more this morning. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hi, michael. Good morning to you. On top of all of that listen to this. Theres this new report out by usa today that says the white house outbreak could potentially have exposed thousands of people to the virus through these rallies, events and meetings in recent days and yet here we are. The white house will still not say publicly when the president last had a negative test, and that is making it nearly impossible to trace his contacts. This morning the coronavirus outbreak on the grounds of the white house even worse than the Trump Administration has admitted. Abc news obtained an internal memo sent wednesday to top officials at fema listing the total number of infected white house staffers and other contacts at 34. Thats ten more than had been previously known. Perhaps you recognize me. Its your favorite president. Reporter President Trump supposed to be in isolation in the residence posting this new video to twitter filmed in the rose garden by a white house staff photographer. He also spent part of the day working in the oval office. The president now calling his illness a blessing. I think this was a blessing from god that i caught it. This was a blessing in disguise. Reporter hes also touting the experimental antibody cocktail made by regeneron that less than 10 people outside of Clinical Trials have received. I heard about this drug. I said, let me take it. It was my suggestion. I said let me take it. It was incredible the way it worked, incredible. Reporter now he says he wants everyone to get access to that same treatment. Overnight Regeneron Pharmaceuticals formally asking the fda for the emergency authorization the president is pushing for. His white house doctor releasing few details about the president s condition saying he is feeling great and symptomfree claiming they detected antibodies. But regeneron telling abc its likely those antibodies are from the drug and not generated by the president s own immune system. With the election just weeks away and the president trailing in the polls, he now concedes there will not be a vaccine before november 3rd. But even as the virus has now killed 211,000 americans, President Trump continues to downplay it. Youre going to get better. Youre going to get better fast just like i did so again a blessing in disguise. Good luck. Reporter now there is scathing criticism out. Unprecedented. The new england journal of medicine writing an editorial condemning the Trump Administrations response to this pandemic calling for a change in november and on top of that, abc has now obtained this letter written by a former head of the cdc under both republican and democratic administrations written to the agencys current director calling the response, michael, a colossal failure and a slaughter. That speaks volumes. Thank you so much, cecilia. Were going to turn now and talk more about the president s condition now with abc news chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton. Doc, we want to talk go straight about regeneron. The president s physician said they detected antibodies in his blood. Now, regeneron said they could be from the treatment, not his own immune system. So how important is the difference . Well, i want to be crystal clear, michael, it should not alter behavior one iota. The cdc recommendations are that a person who has tested positive for covid isolate for ten days since the onset of symptoms or that positive test. But according to Infectious Disease specialists depending on the test method or things they use to check the antibodies they could be picking up the regeneron antibodies. But it is also possible that someone on this timeline could be making their own natural antibodies. But bottom line, you still isolate for ten days. Yesterday the president , he called the antibody treatment a cure. And saying hes trying to get it approved for emergency use. This is something only a handful in the u. S. Have received outside of Clinical Trials. Is it too fast . Well, to be clear, before the fda grants an emergency use authorization, they need to see we need to see phase 3 Clinical Trials for safety and efficacy. In medicine and science, we do not go by anecdotal reports which is one patients experience. Its absolutely positive when someone has a good effect but does not mean that can push forward on emergency use authorization yet. Certain things you just have to be patient and wait for the right cure. All right, thank you so much, doc. Robin . More now on the coronavirus emergency with global cases now topping 36 million this morning. Here in the u. S. 32 states are seeing an increase in cases, 35 states reporting a rise in hospitalizations. One hot spot on both of those lists is wisconsin and will reeve is there with the latest. Reporter this morning, a grim forecast as covid hot spots continue to emerge across the country. Dr. Anthony fauci warning the number of american lives lost could double if things dont improve. The models tell us that if we do not do the kinds of things were talking about in the cold of the fall and winter we could have from 300,000 to 400,000 deaths. Reporter here in wisconsin, hospitalizations doubling in the past month. Authorities opening an overflow hospital to keep up with rising case numbers. The governor telling people to stay home. Its critical, perhaps now more than ever, that wisconsinites step up and stay home as much as you are able. Reporter the family of 28yearold Adeline Fagan says she was a victim of nationwide ppe shortages telling us she had to rewear the same protective mask over and over again. The houston ob gyn lost her battle with covid in september. We need to start taking this seriously and if youre not, please start because this has been the worst time of our lives and i wouldnt wish this on anyone. Reporter the hospital where dr. Fagan worked released a statement saying in part our colleagues receive instructions and training on the proper usage of ppe which includes n95 masks their staff are expected to exchan exchange masks at the end of every shift according to cdc guidance.

Good morning, robin. You know i have a deep connection with this place having lived here. I can tell you for the people of southwest louisiana this is turning out to be a recurring nightmare. Hurricane laura ripping through this town six weeks ago. We were with the owner of this bridal shop then. They just boarded up the windows. Thats about it. Other than that you can see most of the building left is piled up in the parking lot. For so many businesses and homes here in lake charles not much progress has been made and yet here comes another hurricane. This morning, were getting our first look at the force of hurricane delta. The storm already battering mexicos yucatan peninsula making landfall early wednesday morning and leaving damage in its wake capsizing these boats and the wind ripping trees out of the ground in cancun. This massive tree uprooted, cracking through the sidewalk and hitting into a building. Power lines down, one utility pole bent in half landing on the awning of this gas station. Electrical sparks flew from this power line while the hurricane was just hitting. And now for the sixth time in just four months, louisiana is again bracing as hurricane delta approaches. Im already prepared because i was prepared from the last time. Reporter mandatory evacuations now issued in calcasieu parish, where lake charles is located. The city hit just six weeks ago by hurricane laura. We have to be ready for that even though the timing is very unfortunate for all of us. Reporter laura struck louisiana as one of the most powerful hurricanes in u. S. History devastating the coast. Many are still trying to get back on their feet. This photo taken in lake charles earlier this week. Although the blue dots you see are roofs covered in tarps. If this hurricane does come into southwest louisiana on a track similar to what hurricane laura did, itll be very, very devastating. Reporter they are just Getting Started in their recovery. Some residents of Cameron Parish just got power restored this week, and those blue tarps you see across the roofs, theyre not going to last in Hurricane Force winds. Piles of debris that are all over this town in hurricane winds, theyre going to become flying projectiles. That is a very dangerous and horrific scenario. George . Boy, not at all. Rob, thanks so much. Now to ginger in morgan city, louisiana, with more on where the storm is heading next. Good morning, ginger.

Its a cat 2. Should remain that or intense to a 3 and back to 2 before it makes landfall tomorrow afternoon. Hurricane warnings for lafayette and back to galveston and houston. You can see the Tropical Storm force winds. 7 to 11 feet of storm surge. That push of water will be a problem. Unfortunately as rob showed you, this is a storm that comes on the heels of hurricane laura. The big picture you see the tract that laura made. Thats the tract of what delta should do. 15 miles to its east, just cant catch a break, ginger, thank you so much. Now to protests and clashes breaking out overnight near milwaukee after the district attorneys decision not to file criminal charges against the Police Officer in the Fatal Shooting of a 17yearold black teenager earlier this year. Alex perez joins us with the latest. Good morning, alex. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. Those protests stretch long into the overnight hours, the governor activating the National Guard ahead of the decision. Breaking overnight the milwaukee suburb of wauwatosa in chaos. Police firing tear gas at protesters throughout the night after mostly peaceful evening marches turned violent with groups smashing windows out of businesses and even homes. The unrest erupting after the Milwaukee County district attorneys offices decision wednesday not to file criminal charges against wisconsin Police Officer Joseph Mensah in the Fatal Shooting of 17yearold alvin cole. The administration of justice demands a legal and purposeful review of the facts. That was done in this case. Police officer Joseph Mensahs decision to use deadly force on february 2nd was justified and reasonable. Get on the ground now. Get on the ground now. Reporter prosecutors releasing this edited video of the moment officer Joseph Mensah shot alvin cole february 2nd outside a local mall when Police Responded to a disturbance call. Shots fired. Shots fired. All squads respond. Reporter coles family in disbelief. Joseph mensah was the last to arrive on the scene. When he shot alvin twice, then three more times while he was laying flat on the ground. Face down. In the back. You cannot justify that. Reporter officer mensah has made waves in the past fatally shooting three men in the last five years, but he was also cleared from criminal charges in the first two incidents. Mensah remains on the force but the independent investigator who reviewed the case recommended he be fired. The attorney for the cole family insisting the fight is far from over. 19 shots fired in five years time period. Three deaths. We believe that officer mensah should be charged with a crime and we are going to continue to fight for that. Reporter and all this comes after we saw new protests overnight in minneapolis after the officer charged with George Floyds murder posted bail and was relaeased from jail. The National Guard activated there as well. Robin . All right. Thank you so much, alex. Coming up next the countdown to amazon prime day. Theyve got some competition in year.

A new report from the American Heart Association finding that more than half of all lgbtq plus patients have a higher risk of Heart Disease. This is because of medical discrimination. Dr. Jennifer ashton is back, and shell tell us more bit. Do give us the details of the study. So, robin, you know Heart Disease the number one killer of men and women here in the u. S. And worldwide. So when the American Heart Association puts out a scientific statement, people tend to pay attention. This is no different. Their report on lgbtq adults versus their cisgender heterosexual counterparts suggesting theres mounting evidence that lgbtq adults face certain issues that can, therefore, increase their risk for cardiovascular disease like more tobacco use, more alcohol use and among minority females a higher rate of obesity. And, robin, 56 of sexual minority adults according to this statement by the American Heart Association have faced some kind of discrimination by health care professionals. So awareness is key in reducing those risks. 56 . Is that what you said, 56 . Exactly, robin. Its staggering. And the point with the American Heart Associations statement is right now there is limited Data Available to really look at this particular population of adults, so they are calling for both medical professionals and lay people to take some very proactive forwardlooking steps. If you are a patient, lgbtq plus, adult, they are suggesting the following. First of all, know your rights in terms of health care which may differ based on where you live. Consider even reaching out to a Health Care Provider before your medical appointment to inquire what kind of experience they may have in treating or managing this group of patients and a call to action also within the medical community. Medicine, science, doctors need to do more in terms of researching this population and also in Clinical Training and care of this population. Many have been aware of Health Care Inequities but the discrimination is something thats going to be a real eye opener for a lot of people. All right, thank you.

What would you tell folks who still say i dont want to go to therapy . This is whats important. What is therapy . It can be traditionally going to see a psychiatrist, psychologist, a Mental Health expert. Its important, if we can do it.

Yes, we are. Jack huston and Jason Schwartzman both star in the new season of fxs hit season fargo. Jack and jason, good morning, fellas. I see what youre doing. Very good n look how cute they are. O. E. Man. Just like a little puppy. This kind i cannot wait to hear the answer to my first question because you both star in fargo. Its been getting rave reviews but the show was production was halted because of the pandemic earlier this year so what was it like when you two finally reunited after quarantine . I can already tell what the answer is going to within that introduction you gave us. It was it was great. It was very funny. We we both looked at our history of what we had been doing in quarantine and we decided that we were basically the same person. I think our history consisted of amazon buy, looking at puppies and possible places where we could move to. [ laughter ] and, jason and the replies from all of our partners were exactly the same like, please, please stop sending us photos of puppies and things youre buying on amazon. A lot of people were doing that. A sense of solidarity. I felt so less alone by the way when i saw the exact same order of replies. It was wonderful. And the dogs were adorable, by the way. A lot of folks in quarantine, you know, they picked up new hobbies and, you know, Different Things that they were doing and, jason, i understand that you brought some activities so you all could have something to do there on the set behind the scenes. Do tell. Well, you know, by and large when were at work i try not to have my phone and so i brought things for all of the actors to do that would keep us excited like various games and puzzles and things, and then when we went back to shoot, i realized i arrived and i didnt bring any of my stuff and so i love to do like little crafts and just things to, you know, keep everybody happy and loose and, in fact, i have this is i asked if someone could get me some arts and craft stuff. This, i got this. This was a big thing for me and apparently when i got someone said, did jason bring his kids and i said, no, thats for him. Its good to know youre lightening it up behind the scenes. Jason, you play the son of an italian crime lord, and jack, you play the detective. We actually have a sneak peek at it. So lets tiake a look. Youre not curious. You see the black suits when youre walking in. What if i said i had been tipped to lotharios from a few days prior . Yes, he did. Who . You know who. Is he dead . This is the fourth installment of fargo. Each season is different than the last. Jack, im curious. Were you a fan going into it . Huge fan. I actually when i first saw the first season of fargo i thought that might be the best season of television id ever seen and just to sort of get that phone call saying, they want to sit down and have a chat with you, its a bucket list moment. Just to be a part of something that you know will run a certain amount of time but now to be able to i guess sort of share in we were a part of it, because every season is so sort of unique to itself and i mean he managed to bring together some of the greatest actors i could ever wish to work with, the gentleman on the screen sharing it included in that, my goodness. Yeah, it was a special, special, special moment. And speaking of sharing the screen with great actors, this season also stars the great chris rock and, i know, jason, you play adversaries on the show. Limited screen time together. I hear there was a little jealousy about that. In the beginning when i first heard about i was going to be going to be part of fargo and working with chris, i did imagine a kind of like were going to be partners and have all this time but, yeah, were rivals and then i realize well, rivals dont spend a lot of time together so i would sort of like, you know, id see him in passing, say, hey, how are you . Hes very nice but sometimes theres a few times in the show when our crime syndicates are facing off or hes across the way and with his guys and im with mine and i was pretty jealous because everyone in my group for the most part was italian like from italy and im half italian but they are full italian and the best people and i think they think they understood perfectly english what i was saying but i could tell there was a little bit of confusion and but across the way i could just see chris walking around. I didnt hear what he was saying but i could see him talking to everybody between takes going like and ha, ha, ha. And i was just like, man, i wonder what its like to be in that gang over there. [ laughter ] they know what theyre laughing at. I look at my guy this, is very cold here in chicago. I was like, great. We really appreciate you both joining us this morning. We could not wait to see the fourth installment of fargo. It airs at 10 00 p. M. Eastern and pacific on fx and the next day on hulu.

What you wanna say as weve been saying it is thankful thursday and thriver thursday and so excited that thriver thursday is back for a third season, my Digital Series with my Production Company rockin robin productions excited to share a preview of our premiere episode. Former new york giants linebacker, mark herzlich, explains how he faced a rare form of cancer headon when he was a standout athlete at Boston College and how it inspired him to live his life with a new purpose. Its not the battle you went through. Your story doesnt end until youre gone. Reporter october 3rd, 2009, you announced to the world youre in remission. Uhhuh. You know, about 99 sure that the cancer is completely gone. The crowd went crazy. I didnt realize how much it even meant to me at that moment until i said it. On paper your story is College Football star, cancer patient, super bowl champion. But what is it about your story that people dont know . I had an opportunity to do more than just be a Football Player. I had met an unbelievable woman. From the time i was born i witnessed or experienced violence pretty much every day of my childhood. She told me about relationships that she had that were unhealthy and she said, do you think any less of me. I said, danielle, i couldnt think any more of you. But i felt more like a man in that moment than i had ever felt like in my life. Thats so much a part of your lifes purpose. Her story is your story and then together you combine to make an incredible story, boston. Yeah. I didnt know if id ever be able to have kids after the chemotherapy and the radiation. We tried for a long time without success and the miracle of ivf allowed us to have our amazing son. Watching purposefully every single day as his father, it gives me so much hope, so much drive to be a better man myself. Such a beautiful family. I mean he me in tears many times because, you know, Football Player is supposed to be, oh a sweetheart of a guy. He is. When you think about it he was at Boston College, he was a star, cancer. Wow. He comes back from that. No one wants to draft him. Supposed to be a top pick. Nobody drafts him. The new york giants take him as a preagent. He goes on to be in the super bowl and but the story goes so much beyond that. But you had even talked about how its hard enough, period, to be you know, watching his story making it even more incredible because i know the energy and focus and exhausting to even compete and to know what he went through and still be able to come back and have the energy to make it as an nfl player and win the super bowl with the giants in 2011 was really, really special and a testament to him as a person. It really is. So much more to his story and were also going to deal with epilepsy this year. Everybodys got something. You all have heard me say this so there are many things that we are dealing with. Ocd, financial loss and all that. Youre adding a lot of things to were adding beyond thriving.

Im abc7 news meteorologist mike nico. Limited sunshine will bring a feeling to our forecast. 60s around the bay, just a few and now fresh new take on americas most vital document to make the constitution sim toll understand in his new book, omg, what does our constitution actually say. You call it an instruction manual which means by definition its hard to follow. Going back and looking at it, the grammar is strange, the punctuation is bizarre. Even though its in english, in some ways it feels like a different language so i thought by keeping the information the same but giving it sort of a modern refresh it could be understandable to new generations of people. And how did the idea come to you . So, the work i was doing in 2018, we were doing events to educate people about the importance of state executive races so governor, secretary of state and attorney general and at these Events People would come up to me and start asking questions about Jeff Sessions or Rex Tillerson and it dawned on me they didnt know that they had a state attorney general or a secretary of state so i started investigating Civics Education and thats which learned that only eight states today require a year of civics or government education at some point between kindergarten and 12th grade so were teaching less of this than ever and theyre going out and entering the world as adults and dont know how the country works so i thought starting with the founding document would be a good way to bring people up to speed. Heres a question my kids ask all the time and i do my best to answer it and theyre never satisfied. How come the person who gets the most votes in a president ial election doesnt win . So i think its important to understand the Electoral College by going to what its based on which is the number of senators and representatives in each state and its also important to know how those representatives were counted back when the constitution was written. So apportionment was based on free people counting as one, people serving for a fixed amount of time counting as one, native americans who werent taxed counting as zeros and all other persons counting as threefifths of a person and slave Holding State has more power and virginia, for example, had the most enslaved people at the time the constitution was written and four of the first five president s were from virginia. You just perfectly illustrated the problem. Does it have to change . I think it should. What is unique about the Electoral College for the United States is that were the only country that elects our leaders in such a way. So i think its overdue for a refresh. Ben sheehan, thanks. Omg, what does the constitution when you take a it all begins to unravel. Ann ravels no reformer, shes backed by big corporations whove poured hundreds of thousands into her campaign.
