The desperate search for those two suspects. Our friend and colleague Elizabeth Vargas opens up about her long battle with alcoholism. The only thing that will make you feel better is more alcohol. The 20 20 anchor reveals what fueled her drinking, her darkest moments and how she took back control of her life. And good morning, america. Boy, that interview, Elizabeth Vargas with diane sawyer, is so raw and so real but also a lot of hope in there. We are very proud of her. And this is a disease that affects millions of people. She came out and very forthcoming about it and i think its going to help a lot of people. But first, we begin with the race for the white house. Both donald trump and Hillary Clinton sitting down to answer questions about leadership and the military. Their answers and attacks giving a preview to the upcoming debates. Clintons Campaign Manager robby mook is here. Hell talk to george live in just a moment but first, Abcs Cecilia Vega is on the campaign trail in charlotte, north carolina, with the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. That first debate is now a little more than two weeks away, and this forum, overnight both sides facing off over what it takes to be commanderinchief and the one thing that both of these candidates can agree on, neither side is ready for the job. It was the first time they shared a stage and though never on it at the same time, donald trump and Hillary Clinton went headtohead on National Security. The republican candidate blasting American Military leaders. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. Reporter and openly discussing the classified intelligence briefing he has received as a candidate. There was one thing that shocked me, what i did learn is that our leadership, barack obama, did not follow what our experts and our truly when they call it intelligence, its there for a reason, what our experts said to do. Reporter in the nbc forum overnight, clinton making this promise about americas role in the middle east. We are not putting Ground Troops into iraq ever again and were not putting Ground Troops into syria. Were going to defeat isis without committing american Ground Troops. Reporter while trump would not reveal his plan. If i win, i dont want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is. Reporter what there was no shortage of, attacks. Clinton saying her vote for the iraq war was a mistake while slamming trumps shifting position. The decision to go to war in iraq was a mistake. Now, my opponent was for the war in iraq. He says he wasnt. You can go back and look at the record. I was against the war in iraq because i said it was going to totally destabilize the middle east. Reporter but thats not what trump said in an interview in 2002 with howard stern. Are you for invading iraq . Yeah, i guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly. Reporter another mistake clinton admitted to, those emails. It was a mistake to have a personal account. I would certainly not do it again. I make no excuses. Reporter while trump defended a controversial tweet about sexual assaults in the military. In 2013 trump writing, only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together . Asked about it overnight, trump wouldnt back down. Well, it is it is a correct tweet and by the way, since then its gotten worse. No, not to kick them out. Something has to happen. Right now, part of the problem is nobody gets prosecuted. Reporter and this morning, president obama is weighing in from overseas saying trump is not ready for the oval office. I dont think the guys qualified to be president of the United States. And every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed. Reporter you heard it there. The president is in laos and he is really blasting the republican candidate. He said the republican candidate has, quote, either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas. George. Not holding back at all, cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk to Hillary Clintons Campaign Manager robby mook right now. Robby, thanks for joining us this morning. Were you happy with how the forum went last night . Absolutely. This was an opportunity for voters to see the difference between these two candidates and what they saw was that Hillary Clinton both has a real command of the issues but also the experience and the judgment to be our commanderinchief and what we saw from donald trump was that he is simply unfit for the job. He insults at our generals. He said that men and women were not capable of serving together in our military. He showered praise again on vladimir putin, despite matt lauer walking through all of the all of the regrettable things that hes done. So i think voters really saw that difference and they saw that only one candidate was prepared to be commanderinchief and thats Hillary Clinton. Heres what Reince Priebus the chair of the rnc saw. He said, Hillary Clinton, was angry, defensive, no smile, uncomfortable. Upset that she was caught sending our secrets. George, this is what is so incredible and challenging for the republicans, the fact that the only criticism they could have for Hillary Clinton is that she didnt smile enough at a very serious forum on our veterans, on our National Security and on the job of commanderinchief. Just tells you everything you need to know. Donald trump simply didnt come prepared and hes not going to be prepared to serve as president and that was abundantly clear last night. Hillary clinton lost the coin toss last night so she went first and donald trump went second. Let me give you a chance to respond to a couple of things. He said that the Intelligence Briefings hes gotten so far showed barack obama did not follow what his experts told him to do and he could tell from the body language they were not happy. Your response . Well, first of all, its concerning that donald trump was, you know, was potentially sharing information that he learned in his briefing. I mean, but what was really scary, george, was he keeps talking about the secret plan that he has to defeat isis. What was clear last night was, theres really no plan at all, and thats whats scary is, first of all, he doesnt seem to have the judgment or temperament to make good decisions as commanderinchief but he doesnt have any plans and he certainly didnt have command of the issues or the questions that he was being asked. Hillary clinton said last night she would never again put Ground Troops in iraq but there are Ground Troops in iraq. Well, i think what she was referring to there specifically was the volume of troops that had been there before. But, again, Hillary Clinton is actually released a plan, a detailed plan on how to defeat isis. Donald trump has said he has one, hes keeping it secret. But, again, last night it was clear there just isnt a plan and hes trying to hide from that and he lashed out at our nations generals when he was asked for details. So, again, theres no plan there. And donald trump has shown us yet again he is unfit to serve. Robby mook, thanks for joining us today. Thanks so much. All right, george, lets bring in jon karl on this discussion about the forum last night. Its evident how the president , what he feels about what he saw last night. Yeah. Did we learn anything new about the candidates, where they stand on certain positions. Well, look, the first thing is this was a rough night for Hillary Clinton, robin. I mean, 13 minutes of questioning was on her emails. And despite what robby mook said there, you could tell she was irritated by this. She was legalistic, she was defensive. Donald trump got off relatively easily, he seemed confident. He seemed at ease, but he was let off relatively easy, although i think he will have things to pay for because of this debate. He praised putin again in pretty glowing terms and, you know, he went on to attack the generals, the Senior Officers in the military. Not only did he do that, how unprecedented is it for a candidate to share classified information from an intelligence briefing . That was bizarre. Did he reveal too much . Look, ive been covering president ial elections for a long time. Ive never seen a president ial candidate talk about one of those briefings. He didnt reveal any classified information but implied that they were on his side. It was strange. Thats the thing. These Intelligence Briefings are done by intelligence professional, not political people at all, not policy people at all. They dont weigh in on policy. Thats why it was sort of surprising to hear him characterize what they were saying in that way. Yeah, they cant defend themselves, so he implies they were basically on his side and they cant speak about this at all. Big difference here from a debate. They did go backtoback. Each it will be more interesting to see, i guess its coming up on september 26th, which issues each of them chooses to pick up on. When the opponent goes and whether they decide to jump in. Well, i think that what it showed is both of them have a lot of prepwork to do before the next debate. I mean, Hillary Clinton needs to be able to handle these tough she still doesnt have a good answer on her emails and donald trump will not get off so easily in the next debris. Because Hillary Clinton will be able to jump in. Do you think with Hillary Clinton because she hasnt had any press conferences or that time huge. Huge. For two reason, robin, first of all, its less practice, less back and forth. She went 270 days without a press conference. Not a lot of tough interviews. If she had been doing that the questions would have already been asked, matt lauer would have maybe felt less of a need to hammer over and over again on emails and she would be more at ease with the questions. Jon karl, thank you. Lesson, do more press conferences. Yes. Of course, thats going to be your lesson. Practice, practice, practice. Thats what they need to do. Now to that flooding in the midwest. Well turn it over to ginger who is going to tell us whats left of the former Tropical Storm newton and its messing up the south and ginger is here with that this morning. This morning, we are learning that tucson had almost a months worth of rain in just one day as the remnants of what was newton passed over. So, it didnt make history as that Tropical Storm but some places got up to a half foot and the moisture fueling that ongoing flash flooding. Thats from milwaukee, wisconsin, a lot of people picking up anywhere from 3, 4, 5 inches quickly and this morning you can see it on the satellite image as that pools up. Chicago back to kansas city really raucous morning. That moisture is going to pool and, again, thats why we see flood watches just south of davenport, just east of wichita. The next story is right here. If in the northeast, new york city, philadelphia, dover, were all in a heat advisory. Itll feel close to 100. Look at some of those heat indices this afternoon, george, 106 in dover. That is hot. Okay, ginger, thanks. Were going to turn now to a shooting sparking outrage in chicago where Surveillance Video shows a gunman attacking a 71yearold man there watering his lawn. Abcs alex perez is in chicago with the latest. This comes after chicagos deadliest month in decades. Reporter thats right, george. Good morning to you. Authorities have working, trying to solve all these cases. What were learning from investigators on this case, the 71yearold was minding his own business when suddenly he was fighting for his life. This morning, Chicago Police on the hunt for the brazen suspects that took down this Senior Citizen and then shot him. The entire ordeal captured on tape by a neighbors surveillance camera. Watch as 71yearold Frederico Laguardia was out watering his front lawn tuesday when two men ride past him on bicycles and moments later one of those men returns, wrestling him to the ground, shooting him in the abdomen, then rifling through his pockets and stealing his wallet. This is absolutely ridiculous. Youre not even safe in your own yard. Reporter injured laguardia then gets himself to a neighbors front door and calls for help. The unbelievable video another sign of the recordbreaking violence plaguing some parts of chicago. In 2016, nearly 3,000 shootings so far, more than 500 murders. More than new york and los angeles combined. Its not a police issue. Its a society issue. You know, impoverished neighborhoods, people without hope do these kind of things. You show me a man who doesnt have hope and ill show one whos willing to pick up a gun and ready to do anything with it. Reporter theyre hoping this video leads to an arrest. If you can identify your child on there, do the right thing before you get the knock on the door. Reporter no arrests. Good news here is laguardia is doing better and his wife says hes in fair condition. Alex, thank you very much. George, you spent time with nba star dwyane wade. His cousin was gunned down recently. Taking her kids to school. Right there on the street. And he says, hes going to do what he needs to do and others need to do to take back their community. He is going back home and he says it reminds him of what it was like growing up back in the 90s when there was a lot of violence of as well. The most important thing needs, he thinks they need to have mentors. There are gang wars going on. They have to find a way to get a handle on it. For the young men and women. They need those mentors. They need hope. Amy is here with the rest of todays top headlines, starting with a highway shooting in arizona. Yeah, this is a tough story. Breaking news overnight, a woman has died after being shot while just driving down the highway in phoenix. Police say she called 911 to say she was being chased by a truck, dispatchers then heard three shots, no arrests have been made yet. Police say there is no apparent link to a serial shooter in that area blamed for seven recent killings. And some disturbing video from southern california. A Police Officer was seen using his baton to repeatedly hit a suspect on the ground. Police say moments earlier that suspect tried to grab the officers gun inside a store in marietta and an investigation is under way. An dSurveillance Video showing the moment a murder suspect in las vegas twisted and broke through his handcuffs after being left alone in a Police Interrogation room just last week, he then climbed through the ceiling to escape. It took police 25 minutes to realize he was gone and he was finally captured on tuesday. Well, an asteroid the size of a school bus passed by earth. The space rock buzzed the planet wednesday at 18,000 miles an hour and scientists discovered it only two days earlier. This comes as nasa launches a rocket today sending a robot to another asteroid to collect dust in hopes of finding clues to the origins of life. And soccer star Megan Rapinoe did not get a chance to protest the National Anthem at last nights game. The owner of the washington spirit changed the pregame ceremonies and played the anthem while the players were still in their locker rooms. Rapinoe took a knee during a recent game to join nfl quarterback Colin Kaepernicks protest for minority rights. And it was a messy morning commute around wilmington, delaware, after this truck overturned spilling thousands of pennies onto interstate 95. The truck was headed to the u. S. Mint in philadelphia when it overturned. And finally, trying to sell an Office Building shaped like a giant picnic basket apparently is no picnic. Take a look. Yep, thats an actual building. These are the headquarters of surprisingly a Basket Company in ohio. It cost 32 million to build this back in the 90s but the company is so desperate to sell it theyve lowered the sale price to just 5 million but still no takers and its been on the market for over a year. Maybe if they took the handles off. That might help. Im thinking the same thing. Maybe. The lands got to be worth 5 million. Maybe a little bit longer. All right, guys. Now to the latest on ryan lochte and reports this morning that the embattled olympian will be suspended for ten months following what happened in rio. Abcs ryan smith joins us now with the latest. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. The suspension means the 32yearold swimmer is out for next years World Championships the other three teammates are also facing bans of several months, as well. But officials from the usoc, United States olympic committee, and usa swimming, have yet to publicly comment but an announcement is believed to be coming later this afternoon. The 12time medalist apologizing for exaggerating a story that he was robbed at gunpoint creating an international incident. Now, if lochte wants to continue competing on the international stage, his next eligible world championship, 2019 when he is 35 years old. Thats going to be a tough one to do, robin. Well have to wait to see if that happens. Ryan, thank you very much. Everyone kind of suspected Something Like this had to happen. Ginger, whats going on in arizona . We just talked about that flooding rain, and then you see the funnel cloud that happened in parts of arizona, near flagstaff, of course, so that circulating energy in the atmosphere now has moved of course and strong storms and a new low coming at you in the dakotas. It will slide by and anyone from des moines back through kansas city, even wichita along i35 will look out for damaging wind.

Her story is now a memoir. Between breaths and in it she reveals some of her darkest moments and her road back to joy. Good evening, were taking you on reporter on television shes the picture of calm. Im Elizabeth Vargas in baghdad. Reporter traveling the world as an anchor and reporter. Return here to jerusalem. Reporter a familiar face in the morning. And today were looking at jeans. Reporter but for some of those years Elizabeth Vargas was living a secret double life as an alcoholic. Thanks, elizabeth, very much. There are days when you wake up and you feel so horrible that the only thing that will make you feel better is more alcohol. And thats when youre in the death spin, you know. Thats when youre thats when people die. Thats when people die. How close did you come to dying . I on one occasion had a lethal level of alcohol in my blood system and even that didnt scare me in stopping. Can you believe it . Even that. Reporter haunted by crushing insecurity and anxiety that began as a child vargas said a glass or two of wine helped smooth frayed nerves, over the years, social drinking fueled by that anxiety became a dangerous addiction, a startling statistic, more than 60 of women who have a problem with alcohol also struggle with anxiety. Good evening, we begin tonight with two rest reporter to watch elizabeth anchor live tv youd have no idea she was forcing herself to suppress deep anxiety. I mean i remember anchoring the evening news and every single night when michelle, and i love michelle, the floor manager, when she would count down, i hated it. Two minutes. Two minutes. And, you know, my heart would start pounding. One minute. Now im like hyperventilating. 30 seconds. 30 seconds. And literally the studio, the edges of my vision would start to swim a little. And if you watch carefully at the beginning of every newscast world news tonight you will see me lean in and grip the desk with my right hand. And on my left hand which im holding my pen im taking my Engagement Ring and digging the edge of it into my thumb. Why did you go in this business if it was going to torment you like that . I loved it. I still love it. I love telling people stories. But i mean people can look at you and say youre so lucky, really. I am lucky. Its easy to say that on the outside looking in and, first of all, yes, i am you know, i am so lucky to have my two amazing children and to have this amazing job. It doesnt matter how much you have or how little you have, it didnt matter. It leveled me. It knocked me flat on my butt. I, you know i lost sight of everything. Everything. Reporter and as the mother of two young boys, a punishing reality. I was drinking and sleeping, and i do vividly remember like one afternoon sam standing by that my head in the bed saying, mommy, when are you going to get up . And i remember i could smell the sunscreen and i could feel the heat from his little body because he just had come in from the beach and i would die for my children, diane. I wouldnt give a nanoseconds worth of thought to die for my children, to kill for my children but i would die for my children but i couldnt stop drinking for my children. I dont know if i will ever forgive myself for hurting them with my drinking ever. So vulnerable, so honest, so brave, and, of course, it is her children that help her continue that fight against this disease each and every day. Guys. So raw, all right, amy. Thank you. And dr. Richard besser is here and going to talk more about this. Because we dont often talk about alcohol abuse and women and it seems that it is theres signs its a growing problem. Yeah, i mean its so important that elizabeth is sharing her story. It helps deal with the stigma and its hard to get good numbers. One thing we know more common in men but arrests for driving under the influence for men is going down and for women going up. She said she never drove when she drank but heavy drinking is actually more dangerous for women. Yes, it is. Its riskier. When you compare women to men, women are more likely to have liver disease, heart disease, brain disease and it increases the risk for Breast Cancer and it puts them at risk of being victims of sexual abuse. And she also writes in the book that it took her multiple trips to rehab over a period of months before she was able to quit drinking for good. But how common is it for people to struggle with relapses . Thats the story you keep hearing. Its a disease and each time you have to struggle and finally admit you have a problem, then you can start to ask for help and you go through that cycle every time. Its so good she was honest about that and multiple times for her to do that and for people to know that and to know that it is a disease. Okay, so, rich, you know there are some people that are women especially watching this morning and saying, okay, do i have a problem . Are there questions we can ask ourselves . Yeah, so, there are four simple questions and if you answer yes to these, it doesnt necessarily mean you have a drinking problem, it may miss some people but it means you should ask for some help. So, first one, have you ever felt that you should cut down on your drinking . Second, have people annoyed you by criticizing the amount that youre drinking . Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking and have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady the nerves or to fight a hangover . If you answered yes to any of those questions, its a good sign that you should ask for some help. All right, rich, thank you. Those are good questions we should ask ourselves and elizabeth will share much more of her story in a diane sawyer special edition of 20 20 thats airing tomorrow night right here on abc. And, robin, i got whats coming up on the big board, everybody. Apples big announcement pulling back the curtain on the iphone 7, does it live up to the hype . And a work alert about toxic employees.

Back now w back now with the big board team of insiders standing by to weigh in on more of todays top stories. Patrick mcenroe here with us from espn. Well get to you in just a moment. Well begin with becky worley on apples big announcement. That new iphone 7 out yesterday. A lot of new features headed our way. Always a lot of buzz around these. Run us through the important stuff. Yeah, lets just get right into it, george. Its available september 16th. It starts at 649. Thats the unsubsidized price, no help from your carrier there. The guts of this thing faster, more storage, better battery and for the first time water resistance, they didnt say waterproof. Cant wait to put that to the test. Lets talk colors. Theres the new black and jet black, plus you still got the gold, silver and brose gold, thats what you call it when the dude gets the pink iphone. Brose gold. Brose gold. Brose gold and camera is buffed out. Its better in low light and in the 7 plus the big phone, they have two cameras, one is a telephoto, real zoom. Not software pinch and zoom. Finally, the audio jack is out. You will get headphones that work through the charging port and theyre including an adapter for your old headphones but i am not a woman who has had success at keeping track of them. I give it a week. I ordered one of these and you did . Im like im like everybody else i already did. Ill admit it. Its not brose gold. Everybodys tweeting about these ear buds, and heres what Jesse Tyler Ferguson had to say, i dont even own it yet, but i can guarantee you ive already lost one of my airpod earbuds. Josh groban tweeted that airpods, i guess another name is taken. So, this has everybody up in arms and i dont know how im going to be able to keep track of these. I completely agree, michael, until the find my airpod app is invented i cant justify shelling out 160 bucks for them. They run on battery, five hours and can charge them off the case, thats cool, but from a design perspective, you know, these protrusions coming out of your ears say theyre directional microphones but, michael, you got a pair of the old headphones there and im just saying, you got scissors. Doesnt it look like they went snip, snip, here you go wireless. Hold the bottom of that, mr. Mcenroe. There we go. You got to be tough. We got wireless right here. Already lost one, you see that . So why did you buy it, just because because its faster . Because i cant help myself, george. Thats why i bought it. I cant help myself. Its a major problem. Hey, becky, now to a major problem in the workplace. Toxic employees. A Philadelphia Inquirer reporting on a Business Owner who fired his star worker because he says the employee created a toxic environment and after the employee was gone productivity went up by more than a third and we have tory johnson joining us now to discuss this. How you doing, tory . Hey, good morning. You know what, so this is one of those things we know that toxic workers definitely take a toll. Decreased productivity, higher turnover, just miserable employees, if you will, and theres things that you can do about it, and thats what is important. Take action and the action can come from bosses or from the workers, just like us. If you are a boss, there is i think two options, offer better training, coaching, if that doesnt work termination should be a very viable option thats on the table. Many people think results at any cost and bosses should know that cost is very real. If you are an employee and you are dealing with somebody who is a bully, a gossip, they just lack civility, set boundaries, refuse to engage and speak up to that person and let them know what is specifically offensive and of course speak support from compassionate colleagues, from higherups, from hr and let them know about the specific incidents and the impact and ask for help. Okay, tory, thanks very much. Lets bring in Patrick Mcenroe and talk about the u. S. Open and growing controversy, happened in a first round of the womens match. Russia versus switzerland. There was an unusual betting noticed by officials and now theyre investigating saying it was rigged. This is actually good news, believe it or not because theres been issues in tennis at the lower levels. Tennis is one of the most bet on sports worldwide. You can bet on just sets, sometimes even points, so imagine, michael, playing football, and you could have taken a bet or said ill let the gain seven yards on this play. In tennis there are ways to legally bet point to point so the tennis integrity unit was formed by the governing bodies of tennis to look into this, other words, a betting when they see a red flag, in other words, a betting company what did they see . There was an unusual amount of betting coming in on the match. The player from russia and swiss. She was out of form and she had a protected ranking to get into the tournament, meaning she had been out with injury, so basically she had no chance to win the match and they didnt say exactly what came in, but one of the betting Companies Said were not going to take any more bets on this match because we believe something is fishy and theyre looking into this quickly and publicizing it. Another big story coming out of the u. S. Open, Serena Williams chasing history, won her quarterfinals match last night, the first time she lost a set. Is she feeling the strain . Theres a lot of pressure on her to win this tournament. Theres even more pressure, i think, last year when she was chasing the calendar grand slam. Of course, theres always pressure on serena, as she says every time i go out there im the favorite, but her opponent simona halep played a great match and serena raised her match. Best on the womens tournament. Locked in, number 23 is coming. The set she lost they went back and forth. I was watching that. I had to go to bed because they were making me anxious. Patrick, tory, becky, thank you. Coming up in two minutes the new guy trying to fill the shoes of the most interesting man in the world and spoiler alert, im so upset its not george. Not even close.

He is coming back. Yeah, hes coming back and hes back on gma just ahead. But first, that Health Headline about sugar. For years millions have used the g. I. Scale to guide their food choices and to tell them if their sugar levels are in check. It turns out, that could be all wrong. Hmm. Sugar reporter for many sugar is a bad word. And the glycemic index is one way for us to manage it but do you really know what that is . In short the index gives you a way to tell good carbs from bad carbs that may impact your overall blood sugar. Theres tons of diets out there based on managing your sugar intake, the zone, nutrisystem and the sugar buster diet just to name a few. Well, how does it work . Each gets a number up to 100 which gives you an idea about how fast your body converts carbs into energy, carbs with a low number like oatmeal, beans and fruits including strawberries help you feel full longer. Carbs with a higher number like white bread and cookies make your blood sugar go up fast ultimately converting that sugar into fat but heres the kicker. Scientists now believe this index may not be as useful as previously thought. May not be as useful as previously thought. Dr. Jennifer ashton will join us now. Give us the bottom line on the study. Okay,s o, this is the latest study on this glycemic index that comes out of tufts university. This is about how high the blood sugar number rises after we eat and to be clear, you guys, this latest study substantiates only about 15 years of data in the nutritional Science Literature all saying the same thing. What they did at tufts gave two groups of people either a piece of white bread or sugar drink and they checked their blood sugar levels multiple times after that load. They found a huge variability with the same person given the same thing with different people giving different things. Bottom line, glycemic index, can i say bs . Its really so the concept here of good food, bad food, dont believe the hype when it comes to your blood sugar level. Were talking here about nondiabetic. So, what should you believe . Listen, when you talk about the glycemic index i want you to know more than almost anyone about the term. First of all, there are a lot of factors that can go into this raising this number. I want you to look at this list starting with ripeness. The ripeness of fruit, the more ripe the fruit, the lower that g. I. What form or size the food take, whether its cut up or whether its whole, the type of food within pasta. There is a huge variability in these numbers. How its prepared. The heat, the amount of water, the time and the acidity, the higher the acidity the lower the g. I. , its imprecise, its impractical and it really doesnt matter when youre talking about your energy level or diet. Its how you prepare the foot, as well. This is all the same food and all have different g. I. So what foods should we if were looking for something i would like people to replace the good bad with clean. You want the clean carbs. You want healthy fat, protein, there are all things that will keep your energy level up. Two organs in your body that do a good job of keeping that energy level high, your pancreas and your liver.

See the clothes, buy them now. Im doing something new this season. Youll be able to see it online, see the clothes online and buy them immediately. Which is a very revolutionary concept. What used to be shown on the runways and what a lot of designers still currently do is something they cant buy for six months. What made you take that shift this season . Why would you want to see clothes that you cant have for five or six months. Reporter and joe zee was with our camera behind the scenes wednesday night as tom ford turned the fashion world upside down one more time. I know you cant predict everything tom ford will do. Describe tom ford in one word what would it be . You cant. Its like sexy, chic. Masculine. Masculine . I was going to say sexy. Reporter with stars like gigi hadid revealing his brandnew looks and a moment right there behind the scenes with longtime fashion world icon iman who talked for the first time about the death of her husband david bowie. How are you holding up . Im holding up. Im holding up. Today was first day of school. Im wearing this till my death. Oh, it says david. It just says david. So ive been wearing it. But, no, it was just you know, then my mom passed away so its been a tough year but im holding up. Youre a strong youre a survivor. Not as much as you think. And joe joins us now with more highlights. It was incredible to hear from her and how shes doing. Oh, and shes such an incredible person. She really is a true survivor as much as she says she isnt. But she was starting to well up during that conversation but she triumphs on. Were all stronger than we think but its nice seeing her get out. Its the first time shes been out since david passed away so its been almost nine months. And what a night it was. What was your favorite part of the show . Oh, my gosh, it was such an incredible new york fashion event. I cant even call it a fashion show because it wasnt traditional in that sense. It was at the institutional four seasons and it closed down recently and tom ford can make them open it up for one night, intimate dinner with walltowall celebrities for about 80 people and buy fashions right now. And we have some photos of some of the looks and, you know, these are trends well start seeing all over the place. But what makes these staples for your wardrobe . The great thing about tom he is such a trendsetter not even with just the business of fashion but what we see on the runway, every single celebrity said hes re. All defined it as 70s sexy glamour. Patchwork coats done in a different way and 70s jersey dresses, mixing textures. Oh. I know, which is interesting and you think its easy but tom i dont think its easy at all actually. I dont think any of this is easy. The great thing about tom you can really do something where you can throw it all in there and had all the feathers with sequins or leather with tweed and its about anyone being able to do it and of course accessories, awesome belts, big and over every sweater and coat and overtheknee boots. Ill pull those out from the 80s. Talk about this fashion now, we see burberry doing it. Tommy hilfiger. Why is it so important for people to buy the things they see right now. We live in a very fast Digital Generation and i think it seems obvious to you or i why cant we buy the clothes we see now. It took someone like tom ford to say, hey, im going to put it on the runway right now and you can buy it right now. The millennials wont tolerate it. No, they were switching the clothes over in the middle of the night. Immediate society right now. Joe, thank you. And great on, man. Thank you.

But you do how many times, guys, when youre out and about and even walking the streets or whatever, everyone is like this. Im guilty of that. I hit a tree branch the other day. Yeah, i was walking from the gym and it was like a lowhanging branch and thats never happened to me. But it ripped my you said it, george. I didnt. But it ripped my headphones off, and i heard somebody laughing, and i was so embarrassed i just picked them up. I didnt even look back. But i started looking forward after that but it is dangerous. It is distracting and im like you, i do my best not to let the kids have anything. You want to conversate. Thats probably the only time you have their undivided attention. They do sneak them in. They sure do. That video is telling for them not to know who was sitting around them tells you something. It does. We move on to Something Different right now. This idea here, its not mine. There is a brandnew kind coming out that will be able to follow you around all day at work. Its going to have two microphones embedded in it. A motion detector embedded it in. Its done by this Company Called humanize, and they think thats going to help them figure out how to make people more productive at work. Or listen to their conversations. It listens to all their conversations and says it doesnt get content. Who youre speaking with, how long youre speaking with them. It doesnt work in the bathroom in case youre wondering. That was the next question. And, you know, it will only be voluntary. It will only be used in the company if you agree. I still think its you could be talking to someone that had one on. Would you know they had one on . I dont know. It listens but it doesnt record kind of like talking to your kids yeah, exactly. But my i dont know. It kind of scares me because when i played football i would actually go into the bathroom to read just to get out of a meeting. Where is this going . Theyre going to look and go, man, hes gone a long time in the bathroom. Well, thats the idea behind this. They see where you were all day long. Which employees are talking to which employees. Who would volunteer for this . Who would volunteer for this . Lets see. Any takers . No. No, no. The first thing we do when we get off the set is take our microphones off. We are kind of like that at least the two or three hours we are here. We is the mikes on all day. We have nobody here that would volunteer for. Is it something the company can make you . The companies have not made them do it but the companies that try it say it really works and help them figure out emotional athletes, people who get through tough times at work. I love his air quotes. I know a lot of emotional athletes. Well, you know, we call it throwback thursday. Do you call it throwback thursday, as well . I want you guys to take a look at this picture, at this room. Does this look like a room in your home . Can we take a look . Brick house can you hear the commodores brick house . Looks like its in the 1970s. No, thats a home today. My daughter would love that. Would she . It brings back im getting dizzy just this is a home outside of boston, framingham, massachusetts, its up for sale. It was built in 1969. Tattoo owners and they havent changed much. Were going to bring in matt cuddy, a realtor, so give us a tour of this 70s throwback. Matt. Can you show us around . Good morning, america. Let me take you to funkytown. Welcome to this beautiful home. Look at the furniture, the fabrics. Right. Its wild. Everything blends. Everything matches. Its upscale mod chic that still stands the test of time. Come on. Theres more i want to show you. You were practicing that line, werent you . You wanted to nail that line. Funkytown. Funkytown, so tell us we have a beautiful breakfast nook here with pullout trays. Wonderful coverings. And step in, let me show you the kitchen. Theres more to see. Oh, boy. Oh, wow. Yes. All those colors. Wow. Green is back in style so is yellow. Look at this place, the floor that was put down in the early 70s it looks still brandnew today. Weve got a pullout toaster oven that magically pops out of the wall. Nice. Still works. The jetsons. Food processing system. But i have to ask you this, matt a thermidor can opener. And over here hes on a mission. We have got a microwave. Stateoftheart for the day, a wonderful oven you cant get too big of a turkey in there. Cook to your hearts content. All right, i hear theres an eight track somewhere too. Isnt there an eight track somewhere in the house, matt . Weve got an eight track downstairs that works. We even have betamax. We have everything you need in 70s modern technology. Is anybody bidding on that house . Fabulous place. Weve got a number of people interested. Its gone viral around the world. Its amazing how well its received, it is, and Everybody Loves it. The majority of the buyers want to keep the decor just the way it is. The only thing i would add to the decor from the 70s would be the plastic couch covers. Its missing that one thing. Thank you, matt, very much. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Thank you, guys. And taking us back in time. Good luck with that. [ applause ] location, location, location. But i love it when he said, hey, im going to take you back to funkytown. He was waiting for it. Well go with you. All right, so i want to ask the audience another question. Who here prefers a man with a little stubble on his face . [ light applause ] you are in the majority, and i happen to agree with you, ladies. A new study from the university of queensland says that women like men with some facial hair. Some finding men 15 to 20 more attractive, and we have a bearded dating expert with us this morning, none other than the new bachelor, nick viall. Come on out. [ cheers and applause ] as were waiting for nick to make his way, hes handing out those roses, all right. Oh, thank you. Youre welcome. Thank you, nick. Thank you very much. Thank you, nick. I want to say, george, we saw a picture of you from earlier this summer. You were rocking the beard. I dont shave during the vacation. My girls loved it. My wife didnt. Ali didnt. She wanted you to be 15 to 20 more attractive. Thats what im shooting for here. Do you get a lot of comments from wome about your beard . The feedback has been positive. Ive kept it so its working for you. It seems to be doing okay. Before you had it could you tell a difference once you grew a beard . I mean, it wasnt like all of a sudden i got more looks or anything, but i mean i think the people i met, they seemed to enjoy it. I have a bit of a baby face so ah. We actually have a sidebyside comparison, you with your cleanshaven face and you now with your new beard, so, yeah, what do you ladies think . You like the beard . [ cheers and applause ] so i should keep it . Was it a hard decision for you going on to the show again . No, i i kind of grew it on kaitlyns season to be honest towards the end, and she liked it, then when i got off the show, i had it and a lot of people were like, wow, i really like it, so i just kept it. Michael, you, of course, wear your ill be honest with you, when i grew this beard, my life changed. By 15 to 20 . I would say 75 , robin. Was it 25 better . But it really did. There is a big difference. When i take off my i have a baby face also. So it kind of defines the jaw. I sound like im like you really thought about this. We all dont have that masculine jaw line of george stephanopoulos. We got to work it extra hard, but, yeah, i felt like a big change when i grew the beard. It kind of dips a little bit there. It looks like it takes a lot of work. A lot of manscaping. You know what, i pretty much can do it with my eyes closed now. Right. Weve got a lot more coming up with nick viall, the bachelor in just a bit. But first lets go to ginger and Rico Rodriguez. Yeah, rico is up there, and im down below and im down with the kids.
