Turning to that heat wave hitting millions, sizzling temperatures in the eastern half of the country, the worst not over yet and in texas, heavy rain, flash flooding in the forecast, ginger zee has it all for us this morning. Good morning to you, ginger. The pictures coming in from galveston, texas, 4 to 4 1 2 inches of rain and cars bobbing in the streets. You can see some of the video there. That same system that was drowning out brownsville the day before so wanted to show you what is causing that. Its the stagnant or almost stagnant very slowmoving upper level row pressure system which is stuck in place thanks to our pattern. A trough out west and that big ridge, east of the rockies that means heat and a lot of it. We will peak in the heat tomorrow on the east coast, 93, d. C. And much more coming up on this. We had our third hottest august on record, george and lara. Wow, a hot day ahead. The race for president now, your voice, your vote and the gloves are off for jeb bush. Launching an allout assault on donald trump after weeks of attacks. Trump is standing by live to respond. First lets get the latest from jon karl and jon, with trump still rising the bush camp making a big and possibly risky decision. Reporter big and risky but jeb bush is way down in the polls and clearly irritated by donald trump. In the war of words between donald trump and jeb bush, Florida Governor admits its getting personal. Its all personal for him, sure. Mischaracterizations of my views. Reporter bush is firing back not just in english but in spanish. Accusing trump of vilifying anyone who disagrees with him. [ speaking spanish ] reporter now the Bush Campaign is throwing trumps words right back at him. Portraying the donald as no conservative. I lived in new york city and manhattan all my life, okay, so my views are different than if i lived in iowa. Hillary clinton is a terrific woman. Im a little biased because ive known her for years. Reporter trump hit right back with jebs own words praising hillary. We recognize the commitment of someone who has devoted her life to public service. I want to say thank you to both secretary clinton and to president clinton. Reporter the Clinton Campaign chimed in, no need to fight, guys. You both agree hillary was a great secretary of state. We get it. All three candidates may have a larger problem. A new abc Washington Post poll show americans have a negative view of all of them, 53 viewing clinton unfavorably. 55 for bush and 59 for donald trump. Those numbers are just another indication of how unusual this race is. You have Hillary Clinton and donald trump both the clear frontrunners for their partys nominations and viewed unfavorably by a clear majority of voters. And, george, this is before all of those television attack ads that you know will come before tomorrow. This is just the beginning. Okay, jon, thanks very much. Lets get to donald trump right now, Still Holding a pretty commanding lead in the republican polls, National Polls and iowa. Mr. Trump, thanks for joining us this morning. Boy, you heard jeb bush yesterday. Youre not a conservative, youre more democrat than republican. This is all personal. Is he drawing blood . Well, i think he had really no choice. Hes doing very poorly in the polls. Hes a very low energy kind of guy and he had to do something so theyre spending a lot of money on ads and he has a lot of money from the Hedge Fund Guys from the special interests from lobbyists, he raised over 100 million so they control him totally so he really had no choice, i think, george. He had to go out with an ad and did a very expensive ad and lets see what happens. So far everybody thats attacked me has gone down. Lets see what happens here. He also shows you praising Hillary Clinton in the video. Bottom line, who would be the better president , jeb bush or Hillary Clinton . Well, i go with the republican. Hillary was absolutely a horrendous secretary of state, probably the worst ever and i would have to go really with the republican. You know, i was obviously very friendly, i was a Major Business person. Youve seen that and i really was very friendly with all politicians. If im in new york i was friendly with politicians throughout the united states. I was friendly that was my obligation. That was my job to do as what they just they turned me into a world class businessman so i had to get along with everybody. I got along with the clintons i got along with everybody and it was important to do so, but now, you look at jeb, and you see what hes doing and its sort of an interesting thing. And i think he probably had no choice. Its probably now going to stop because it seems to be backfiring on him based on the polls, seems to be somewhat backfiring on jeb. In the video it says showed you answering questions saying you have no idea why youre republican. How would you answer that today . Why are you a republican . That was at a time when the republicans were not doing well and, frankly, they had some ideas that were different from my ideas and a lot of people felt that way and many republicans were saying we have no idea why were republicans. The republicans were not doing well. But right now you say you are a republican. You are going to go with the republican nominee and heard you say that about jeb bush. What about ben carson . One poll shows him tied with you right now in iowa. Others have you ahead still. What do you make of the threat posed by ben carson in iowa . Well, i like ben a lot. Hes a good guy but hes been spending a tremendous amount of Advertising Money in iowa and the one poll where we have a tie and the other one im leading by quite a bit in iowa, but one of them came out and a little bit surprisingly there was a tie and i think thats great. But ben is spending money in iowa and im not. I am out in iowa quite a bit and made speeches, quite a few of them and had a tremendous response and tremendous audiences but ben is spending a lot of money in iowa. You said you want to prohibit American Companies like ford from building plants in mexico and complained about china eating our lunch. So will you disassociate yourself from every company that creates jobs in china and mexico . You have to understand, i dont want to prohibit companies, but i want to create jobs here. We need jobs in the united states, george. We dont need jobs in mexico. We dont need jobs in china. China is eating our lunch, mexico is eating our lunch. We need jobs here. We need plants built right here in the united states. We dont need them built in mexico. We dont need them built in china. That doesnt help us despite what some people will try and tell you that it does. Believe me, it doesnt. Ill have jobs in the united states. Im going to win the hispanic vote because im going to create jobs and ive already, if you look at polls with the hispanics im winning in many polls with hispanics which some people are surprised at. Im not surprised at. But yes or no, will you dissociate from any companies or partnerships of yours that do business this china and mexico . I wouldnt do that. I want to do business with them. Im a free trader. The problem with free trade you have to have smart leaders on your side. We do not have smart leaders. We do not have good negotiators. Everything we negotiate is bad including the iran deal. That deal is one of the worst negotiated transactions ive ever witnessed in my entire life. Its negotiated by people that are either stupid, incompetent, theres something wrong with them. Its a deal thats absolutely insane. So we have bad negotiators on that we have bad negotiators on trade. If i win were going to turn it around and bring jobs back to this country and have a lot of convict instead of always losing. Always opinionated donald trump, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you very much. Indeed, turning now to the kentucky county clerk who refused to issue samesex marriage licenses because of her religious beliefs defying the Supreme Courts ruling. After a tense standoff in the morehead courthouse on tuesday shes now facing a fine or even jail time. Abcs alex perez is following it in kentucky for us. Alex, good morning to you.

You absolutely have disrespected us. Reporter a tense standoff caught on tape. Under Whose Authority are you not issuing licenses . Under gods authority. Reporter kim davis, the clerk in rowan county refusing to issue any marriage licenses because of her religious objection to samesex marriage. I simply told you all, im willing to face my consequences as you all will face yours when it comes time for judgment. We dont have consequences. Plain and simple. I dont believe in judgment. Not everyone believes what you believe. Reporter the couple, david moore and david ermold have been trying to get a license since june when the Supreme Court made marriage a right nationwide. Theyve been turned away other and over. Like i said were still currently not issuing a license. This is our home. We should have the same rights as everybody else to walk into that office and get a marriage license. Were equal to everyone else. Reporter davis telling the court she is exercising her right to religious freedom but late monday the Supreme Court refusing to intervene on her behalf. Would you do this to an interracial couple . A man and a woman, no. Reporter in a statement, davis saying to issue a marriage license which conflicts with gods definition of marriage with my name affixed to the certificate would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a heaven or hell decision. She wants to be obedient to her lord and she wants to be owe bead cent to what she believes. How long are you willing to keep trying . Until its done. Reporter davis escorted by a man armed with a gun arrived to work a while ago. Shes due in court tomorrow. Lara . Alex, thank you.

Reporter two deaths already, the government is worried about more. So this morning a warning to five Online Companies and already that warning is having an effect. This morning warning letters sent to five producers of powdered caffeine from the fda stating that the product is potentially dangerous and presents significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Too much caffeine can cause erratic heartbeats, seizures, even death, but the white Powder Product is increasingly popular with Young Athletes like 18yearold logan stiner who died just two weeks before his High School Graduation after using just one teaspoon. But one teaspoon equals 28 cups of coffee. Who would think caffeine is broken down into such an amazingly deadly, lethal weapon. It is poison in a jar, plain and simple. It needs to be done and rid of, just get rid of it. Reporter the fda claims safe amounts of the powder, 1 16 of a teaspoon are too small to measure. Its sold online. Some in 3. 5ounce packages, the equivalent of 1250 red bulls or 3,000 cans of cocacola. The fda demanding the Companies Respond in 15 days but 3 of the 5 are telling abc news and other outlets they are getting out of the business. They will no longer offer pure caffeine powder supplements. There are two other companies that weve asked for a response, will they continue to sell it . They did not respond.

Right now, we get to the landmark case in california where a doctor is on trial for murder accused of killing three patients who overdosed on powerful painkillers she prescribed. Mara schiavocampo has the story. Good morning, mara. Reporter Officials Say dr. Tseng was aware her patients were misusing those prescriptions one even overdosing in her office and several dying. Now shes facing criminal charges in a case that could change the way doctors all over the country handle prescriptions. Shes the doctor accused of killing patients with prescriptions. The defendant repeatedly had patients overdose and die. Reporter this morning, dr. Lisa tseng facing Second Degree murder charges for the deaths of three patients, all in their 20s who allegedly overdosed on drugs she prescribed. In opening statements, prosecutors saying even though dr. Tseng was informed more than a dozen times her patients were overdosing, she kept prescribing powerful painkillers like oxycontin to the point of recklessness but the defense says dr. Tseng is not guilty, that shes a hard working mother who never meant to hurt anyone. Adding the victims are ultimately responsible for taking more than the prescribed dosage and mixing pills with alcohol. She wasnt a perfect doctor, but these patients took a lot into their own hands. They mixed alcohol. They mixed other drugs. Reporter three pharmacists taking the stand tuesday all three testifying the prescriptions written by dr. Tseng and the patients filling those prescriptions raised red flags. The strengths were high and the quantities were large. And that person would seem intoxicated or seem under the influence of drugs. Reporter though rare more doctors are facing these kinds of charges. In 2011 dr. Conrad murray was convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter for giving Michael Jackson a deadly dose of the anesthetic propofol. Now some legal experts say cases like tsengs could set a new precedent. Doctors could be held accountable if those patients abuse that medication. Reporter something the families of dr. Tsengs patients hope can help save others. I dont want anybody else to lose their lives because of irresponsible prescribing. Reporter tseng is also charged with several felony counts of prescribing drugs to patients that didnt ultimately need them. This will be a long trial expected to last several months. If convicted on all counts tseng could face 45 years to life in prison. Lara. All right, mara, thank you. Turning to that movie about the potential danger of football. The film concussion stars will smith and is based on the true story of the doctor who discovered a brain disease found in former player. Ryan smith has the story. Ryan, good morning, to you. Reporter after a calendar year of Domestic Violence and allegations of defreighted footballs rocking the nfl, this film, set to release Christmas Day, could provide a prior controversy. Concussions from some of the games big hits. I found a disease that one has ever seen. Reporter this morning the National Football league facing another wave of attention for its ongoing problems. Repetitive head trauma chokes the brain. Reporter sony releasing the trailer for its new movie concussion set for release Christmas Day features megastar will smith as dr. Bennet omalu the reallife forensic pathologist who discovered the brain disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or cte, in the brains of former football players, and his efforts to warn nfls top dogs in going to war with a corporation that owns a day of the week. Reporter the disease, which can be diagnosed only after death, discovered in players like junior seau who took his own life. Basically a twohour tutorial on concussions and the damages that they can produce. The nfl cant pretend it doesnt exist. Reporter the films trailer suggesting the nfl didnt want to face the disease. The nfl does not want to talk to you. Youve turned on the lights and given their biggest boogeyman a name. Something the real dr. Omalu discussed with abc news in 2013. Most of these sports organizations did not embrace it. We were somewhat in a phase of denial. Reporter but the nfl who recently agreed to a settlement plan for thousands of retired players who suffered concussions and other serious ailments during their career which could cost them a billion dollars wouldnt comment on the film, but told us we all know more about this issue than we did 10 or 20 years ago and adding we are encouraged by the ongoing focus on the critical issue of Player Health and safety. We have no higher priority. A New York Times report tuesday saying emails from the sony hacking scandal indicate the studio softened certain aspects to not run afoul of the league. One email claiming they would work with nfl consultants on messaging to avoid conflict with the league. But the films writer reportedly saying in an interview, filmmakers werent watering down the film but instead trying to make it as accurate as possible. Now, experts say concussions are a concern on every level of the sport. Head injury fears contributing to a drop of pop warner players and spurring a San Francisco 49er Chris Borland to walk away from a multimillion dollar contract, but this attempt of art to imitate life could create more problems for the nfl. Certainly going to keep the debate going. Thanks, ryan. Coming up, an abc news exclusive. The hero teacher who talked down a gunman as he held her High School Class hostage.

Her calm, quick thinking saved lives when an armed student held her classroom hostage and this morning were hearing from twila smith for the first time. In an abc news exclusive. T. J. Holmes brings it to us from philippi, West Virginia. Good morning. Reporter scary to think how close we came to reporting from here as a site of another national tragedy. Another school shooting. Instead its the site of one remarkable teachers greatest triumph. The day she got her class out of a hostage situation alive. Twila smith says nothing in her 30 years of teaching quite prepared her for the day a student would walk into her classroom and put a gun to her head. Ive thought that it was my time. Reporter it was just nine days into the new school year when Philip Barbour high school in phillippe, West Virginia. Goes on lockdown. We have a hostage situation, second floor. Hostage situation. Reporter the hostages, police say, smith and her sixth period world studies students held at gunpoint from a 14yearold freshman. He said he was going to kill people and himself and there were times that he would actually hold the gun to himself, but briefly, and then he would he put it on about six students but most a lot of the beginning of the time it was on me. Reporter smith says the gunman ordered her to cover the window of the classroom door. Since no one passing by in the hallway could see what was happening inside smith and her students spent the entire period trapped with a gunman. You all were in there alone in a crowded school but nobody knows whats going on. About 29 students and myself, about 20, 28 or 29 students. Reporter with a kid with a gun. What were you in there talking about . I just kept asking him to let everybody leave and he and i would stay. Anything i could think of. Just telling him that he hadnt gone too far. Reporter when the bell rang, other students began knocking on the door. In my mind that nobody else was coming in the room. Reporter but smith turned the incoming students back and signaled another teacher jen swift who came over and took one step inside the classroom. Maybe someone was in trouble. Just seemed something petty and he was standing by the Bulletin Board with the gun raised towards my head and said you can get in here too. Reporter swift ran and called for help. The school was evacuated. Police and the boys pastor able to convince him to let the hostages go. I did look at him. I think in my mind i said its going to be okay but i cant say for sure. But i just wanted him to go with us. Reporter smith is credited with keeping her cool, keeping the gunman calm, and saving lives. Even when you thought you were going to get killed, you were still trying to protect your students. Im in charge of them. When theyre in my watch and i hope when my kids went to school the other people felt that way too. I mean, when they walk in here were protecting were supposed to teach them and were supposed to take care of them. Reporter but for her the kids are the real heroes. I cant say enough about these kids. I have never seen bravery like this in my life. Reporter well, the student, a 14yearold now facing some 30 charges related to the incident. But, george, the Teachers Want to tell their story and get this out and the message that young teachers especially need to be trained and ready for these type of scenarios, because its unfortunate this is the sad, new reality. This is part of a teachers job description. You saw how it saved lives. She talked about the students but this is such a trauma. How are those students doing right now . Reporter theyre doing well now. This happened a week and a half ago but the students, some of the same ones that went hostage went back to that same classroom the next day. They opted to. She didnt take the day off because she knew they would be there. She said if they can be there and be brave, so can i. Thank you. T. J. The big warning before you hit the beach this weekend.

Abcs david wright has it. Reporter this morning, just before labor day new footage captures three great whites off the coast of cape cod. Weve already seen as many sharks this year as we did last year. Reporter in the past, just one sighting was enough to threaten to close the beaches. Marine biologists are tracking nearly two dozen of them along a tenmile stretch along the coast of cape cod on monday alone. Just a few weeks ago the Atlantic White shark conservancy captured this extraordinary scene, a hungry great white breaching to try to catch a breaching seal. Thats never been seen before. Seals are right along the shoreline which, of course, would draw the sharks in very, very close. Reporter with the Holiday Weekend approaching, lifeguards are now calling for higher towers, purple watch flags, possibly even a spotter plane to keep an eye out for the great whites. Knock on wood there have been no shark attacks yet this summer on the cape. The beaches are open for labor day. Theyre fun to look at from the shore. I wouldnt get any closer than i had to for sure. Reporter but swimmers, beware. For good morning america, david wright, abc news, new york. Moral of the story, if you see a seal thanks, david.
