The job action at Kaiser Permanente is set to end tomorrow but the union is threatening a longer strike if a new contract cannot be reached. Chief National Correspondent matt gutman is in los angeles. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, rebecca. Just to give you a sense of the National Importance of this strike. The acting labor secretary was acting as a mediator, struggling between kaiser and the representatives for the union. Obviously, negotiations are completely at an impasse.

Lot of lives hang in the balance. Matt gutman, thank you. George . Were going to turn to our abc news exclusive about donald trump disclosing secrets to a foreigner after he left office. The kfrg has been reported to special counsel jack smith who is investigating the former president. Chief washington correspondent Jonathan Karl has the story. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Americas secrets dont get much more sensitive than the details of our nuclear arsenal. But that is exactly what donald trump allegedly shared with an australian billionaire at maralago months after he left the white house, according to sources familiar with what that billionaire has now told federal investigators. The australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, has told jack smiths team that the former president told him potentially Sensitive Information about the capabilities of americas Nuclear Submarines. Sources familiar with the matter tell abc news. Those sources say pratt then shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees and a handful of journalists. According to sources familiar with the matter. Pratt joined Donald Trumps Maralago Club shortly after trump became president and was invited to multiple white house events. Australian entrepreneur Anthony Pratt announced a new 2 billion investment in box making factories across the United States. But he only did that if trump won the election, i think. Is that a correct statement, anthony . Thank you. Reporter sources familiar with the matter tell abc news the alleged disclosure took place in april of 2021 just months after trump left the white house. The sources say pratt told federal investigators that trump was leaning towards him, as if to be discreet and shared two pieces of information about u. S. Submarines. The supposed act number of Nuclear War Heads each usually carry, and exactly how close they can supposedly get to a Russian Submarine without being detected. Anthony is one of the most successful men in the world. Perhaps australians most successful man, as they say. Reporter its unclear if the information trump allegedly shared with pratt was accurate, but the sources tell abc news that the investigators asked pratt not to repeat it, suggesting it was too sensitive to share. But, in fact, the sources say that within minutes of his conversation with trump ending, the australian billionaire started telling another guest at maralago. The potential disclosure was uncovered as part of the investigation into trumps alleged mishandling of classified documents at maralago. Although theres no indication that trump showed pratt any actual document. He may not have showed pratt any documents, but this gets to how trump handled classified information, which is central to that special Council Investigation into his handling of classified documents. Weve reached out to donald trump for a response on this. They did not deny our story, but a Spokes Person for the former president said that it, quote, lacks proper context and relevant information, adding that trump, quote, did nothing wrong. We also reached out to Anthony Pratt. No comment from him, george. Okay, jon, thank you very much. Trumps indictment did not stop republicans from floating his name for house speaker. Last night, early this morning the former president endorsed jim jordan for the job. Mary bruce has that story. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, george. Donald trump is throwing his support into this race, endorsing jim jordan for speaker, saying the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee an founder of the far right Freedom Caucus has his total and complete endorsement. Jim jordan is now running against steve scalise, the number two republican in the house for the speakership, but donald trump now says he would be willing to step in to the role temporarily if the party is unable to coalesce around a candidate saying he would do so to be a quote unifier for the party. Trump also said he plans to be here on the hill to meet with republicans next week. We have seen a handful of his most ardent supporters trying to get him to take on this role even though donald trump, according to republicans own rule doesnt allow him to be speaker because he is facing multiple felony indictments and possible prison time. That is obviously something republicans though are willing to look past. They have been looking past his legal woes so far, over onethird of House Republicans are already supporting him for president , so they could just ignore their own rule or try an change it. But this morning, senior gop leadership aides are downplaying the possibility and the likelihood that republicans would seriously consider donald trump for speaker, even on an interim basis. The bottom line here, george. Donald trump has an iron grip on the republican party. His involvement here could have a lot of sway or it could complicate things. The republican rules say anyone who is under indictment cannot serve as speaker yet they support him for president and speaker as well . Reporter absolutely. 77 members of the House Republican conference are still backing donald trump for president even though their own house rules say he couldnt even serve as speaker. Mary bruce, thank you very much. Michael . Thank you, george. Now to the Biden Administration, taking some heat over a decision to expand the wall at the southern border. Something President Biden had opposed, as he insists he ha no other choice under the law. Senior White House Correspondent selina wang has the latest for us. Good morning. Reporter good morning, michael. President biden telling me that his hands are tied and he has no choice, even though he doesnt believe a border wall works. But mexicos president is condemning this plan. Its angering some democrats who say biden is breaking his promise, and republicans who say its too little too late. This morning, the Biden Administration facing criticism from all sides, after moving ahead to build up to 20 miles of border wall in southern texas, in contrast to a key campaign pledge. There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration. Reporter biden now appears to be backing off that promise, amid a historic surge in migration and political pressure, even from democrats to do more. You pledged not to build another foot of border wall. What changed . Nothings changed . Reporter the president insisting his administration had no choice. During the trump presidency, Congress Passed a law requiring hundreds of millions of dollars be used to build a border wall. They have to use money where its appropriated. I cant stop that. Reporter in a federal notice, the Homeland Security secretary wrote, theres an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers to prevent unlawful entry into the United States. These funds have been available since biden took office. Why now . Hes been asking congress to reappropriate the funds. He has been for the past couple of years and congress refused. Reporter the Biden Administration also announcing they will resume deporting venezuelan migrants weeks after expanding protective status for thousands. The president is combining tougher legal enforcement with new legal path ways. However, no easy solution. Humanitarian crises are driving more to the border. George . Thanks. Now to the deadly stabbing suspect who appeared in Court Last Night hours after Police Arrested him. Trevor ault is at the courthouse in brooklyn with details. Good morning, trevor. Reporter good morning, george. 18yearold Brian Downing was arraigned overnight charged with murder. He has not entered a plea. Authorities allege he killed 31yearold ryan carson in front of carsons girlfriend in an apparent random attack at a brooklyn bus stop that was captured on video. Police sources tell detectives were at his home yesterday. They allegedly found a black sweat shirt matching one worn by the suspect on that video. They also found a knife that may have been the murder weapon. Ryan carson was a well known activist here in new york city. He championed many causes. Including working to reduce Drug Overdose deaths after his best friend died. Today would have been his 32nd birthday. Rebecca . Really tough story. Okay, trevor. Thank you. We turn now to the eagerly awaited september jobs report. Showing 336,000 jobs were added in september. Elizabeth schulze is in washington with more. Good morning, elizabeth. Reporter good morning, rebecca. This strong jobs report continues to defy expectations. 336,000 jobs were added to the economy in september. That is much higher than analysts expected. This stronger than expected report could put even more pressure on the fed to keep raising interest rates. Already we are feeling the impact of though rates. Mortgage rates just hit a new 23year high. Todays average 7. 5 rate for a 30 year fixed mortgage. Your Monthly Payment on a 400,000 home loan is about 300 more than it would have been just at the start of this year. This jobs report, along with the inflation data next week, are key for the fed as it determines where borrowing costs go from here. Michael . Thank you very much, elizabeth. This morning, we are remembering a true nfl legend. Dick butkus is one of the greatest defensive players of all time. A larger than life figure who had a hall of fame career for his hometown Chicago Bears, then made his way to hollywood. Demarco morgan is here with more on his life and legacy.

Reporter before the game even started, a moment of sigh sigh len for one of the legendary monsters of the midway. Im really not tough, macho guy. That was only during the game. No matter how hard you try to explain that, sure, you are, you know . Reporter the former linebacker, known for his gritty play and hard hits. I want to just let them know that theyve been hit. When they get up, they dont have to look to see who it was that hit them. Shouldnt be any puzzle. When they come through they have to say it must have been butkus that got me. Reporter his career cut short in 1973 after a chronic knee injury. But his stardom was far from over. Okay, ronnie. Mcguyver reporter sticking to tinseltown with appearances on mcguyver and murder she wrote. They dont call me tank for nothing. Reporter even landing recurring roles in my two dads and hang time. Okay, everyone, hustle up. Reporter his heart remained with the game. Bears chairman saying dick was the ultimate bear. He was chicagos son. Dick butkus was 80 years old. Last night many bears fans wore the number 51 jersey in honor of butkus. One of his fans described him in a post on social media as a great man, a great human and a great player. He is survived by his wife, his high school sweetheart, and their three children. We are thinking of his family, demarco. What a legend. Okay.

Reporter good morning, michael. This is frustrating for anyone trying to buy a new home. Average rate on a 30year fixed Rate Mortgage is at its highest level since the year 2000. Just hit 7. 49 up from 6 back in january. What this means in dollar terms, if youre taking out a 400,000 mortgage, youre paying 300 extra every month compared to the start of the year. Compared to two years ago when rates were at 3 , it is about 1,000 more every single month. These higher rates are eroding the purchasing power of home buyers and making it a lot lesson tieing for anyone who already owns a home with a lower Mortgage Rate to move. These higher borrowing costs are the product of the feds aggressive fight against inflation. And the fed has indicated it could be awhile before borrowing costs come down. Some analysts say 8 Mortgage Rates are now on the horizon. Rebecca . 8 on the horizon. Sounds high today, but not if you bought in 1981. Thank you.

Announcer wednesday morning, we will hear about it live. Dancing with the stars has never had a guest judge like this starting tuesday on good morning america. So what is going to happen, michael . All im going to say is manage your expectations, people. [ laughter ] manage your expectations. Once you get in the ballroom, you stay in the ballroom, michael. Im going to have fun. Im not part of any plan. Im going to have fun. Its motown night. Its motown night. Maybe ill groove a little bit. Well see. I dont know. I cant keep up with sam. Oh, please. I was there for a week and a half and they were like, you cant even stay tuned. We will be watching. Rebecca . We will be there for judge stray, absolutely. Okay, george. Thank you. We turn to the gma cover story on good cholesterol. A new study finds a potential live between your hdl and increased risk of dementia developing. Our medical correspondent dr. Darien sutton is here to break it down. Nice to see you, dr. Sutton. Good morning. This strikes my attention. My family has high cholesterol and issues with that. So many are like this. Whats the study and whats the data showing . Well, the result of the study are likely going to be the source of a lot of confusing headlines. Just to break it down, they followed over 180,000 older adults. They followed them for 13 years. They tracked their cholesterol and identified those who developed dementia. They found those who had the lowest levels of hdl, that good cholesterol, had increased risk of dementia. Also those who had the highest levels of hdl all had an increased risk of dementia. Its important to be said, this is an association, not a cause and effect. It doesnt change the current recommendations. It likely will lead to more research, asking the question, is there an upper limit that we should hold for that good cholesterol, that hdl . When you are having conversations with your doctor about your hdl, what kinds of things should you be asking . I think first, know your numbers. Ldl should be below 100. Hdl if youre a man should be above 40. Hdl if youre a woman should be above 50. Also, if you are limited risk or low risk and relatively healthy, you only need to check those numbers every few years. Every few years. And what do you do to manage it . Diet. Diet is the most important. Limiting saturated fats. Lower that ldl as much as possible, increasing fiber. Starting your day with Something Like an oat cereal is helpful. Many people dont know, physical activity activates hdl so it can do its job. Get physically active. If youre having difficulty controlling, you might want to talk to your doctor about a statin. Any oatmeal yet today, dr. Sutton . Not yet. Well go have some. Michael . Thank you, rebecca.

Once upon a farm is this little tiny Company Started by Cassandra Curtis in her kitchen to solve a problem. You could buy fresh pet food in a refrigerator at the Grocery Store but all baby food was shelf staple, had been cooked to death. No nutrients just not delicious fresh food. So she started this Fresh Company and it just made perfect sense to me. John ford joined her at the same time. Weve been working on it for six years now together. Its just trying to be an ally to moms. Help moms have no sugar added, organic, whole foods, whole fruits and vegetables. Weve aged up. We are still all about babies, but we serve big kids now.

My uncle robert is, became a farmer after being a plumber for 40 years. So we supply him. Going to go harvest pumpkins there pretty soon. How about the kids . Did love of farming pass through the genes . My mom was such a farmer girl so we always were at farmers markets. We always had a huge garden. Shes always just taught us closer to earth, the closer to the sunshine, the more youre going to love it. You know, like, when i was a kid, i would say, i hate green beans, but if they were grown out of the ground and i have sitting there, i would pick them an eat them as fast as i could, as i told you i hated them. A difference. Yeah. I did that as a kid, too. Helped me grow. Your Company Recently made an announcement. I believe you have something for us this morning. I do. So in aging of the brand and continuing to be there for moms and offer this whole different way of feeding kids food from the Grocery Store, we finally have bars which has been a goal of ours for a long time. Because we do everything with elevated nutrition, we couldnt offer bars until we could offer it without sugar, nongmo, organic from whole foods. Theyre refrigerated, but only for the texture. This is a really good one. I love a good bar. I am your ideal customer. Theyre glorified candy bars usually, but this is one you can feel good about. This is delicious. This is avocado . Theres avocado, pineapple, and there are veggies in there, too. I cant remember. Kale, all kinds of good stuff. Easy to eat. No preservatives. Nothing but exactly what it is. I love it. Youre so passionate about it. Jennifer, you dont mind [ laughter ] you cant resist it. This tastes like a smoothie. This is so good. Really good. This is amazing. It makes me so happy. I see kids eating it. Moms tell me, ill think theyre coming to tell me they saw a movie. But it makes me even happier when they say, my family, i dont know what we did before once upon a farm. I eat them. My husband eats them. Thats great. It is a thrill to be part of something you believe in, whatever it is. You are also showcasing your skills on the pretend cooking show. You know it, baby. Tell us about this fire alarm problem. I do set off the fire alarms pretty regularly. [ laughter ] what happens there . Usually means youre burning something. Most kids say the flavor that you know you know mom is cooking if there a little bit of char. [ laughter ] i can relate. You cant get it off. You cant get the Smoke Detector to go off. Now its all connected and the fire men call or show up. Youre just like, here, have a bar. [ laughter ] i finished my bar. First of all, its delicious. Knowing that it doesnt have any of the preservatives and other bad things. No sugar. No sugar. Fantastic. Oh, good. Always great to have you here. You all bring gift, too. Come back. Im so happy to see you guys. Been a minute since weve been in the studio together. Thanks for having me. Great to have you back. Thanks for celebrating our new bars. Congratulations on everything.
