Transcripts For KNXV Good Morning America 20160905

A fishing boat with dozens on board crashing into rocks, taking on water. Passengers scrambling for life rafts, waiting desperately to be rescued. We were in the right place at the right time for those people. How Good Samaritans got there in the nick of time. And good morning, america. Happy labor day. Great to have paula faris here. Oh, its great to be here. Thanks for the invite, george. We hope youre having a safe and enjoyable Holiday Weekend so far. But this morning all eyes are on hermine, a posttropical cyclone tracking north. Warnings and watches are in place all along the coastline. Hermines still ruining the holiday for millions even as the storm spins into the atlantic. Most beaches are closed to swimmers this morning after red flag warnings like this one in bradley beach, new jersey. And look at ocean city on sunday. Those winds are so high right there blowing sand all across the shore. Now, lets take a look live at should be pretty packed this labor day. Those waves are hitting pretty hard right there. Ginger, even though the worst may have passed, you still have the danger of rip currents. Right, and thats where the impacts will be, in the ocean. For anybody planning to go to the beach or in the ocean, thats the storm. Inland, everyone seems to have a decent time because this storm is so far east. At this point posttropical cyclone hermine is about 300 miles south and east of long island. It is moving north. It will turn back to the north and west, so eastern long island, parts of coastal rhode island, nantucket there, all in Tropical Storm warning and then those coastal flood warnings and advisories stretch all the way down to virginia because it is that piling up of surf and water that does this that youre about to see where gio benitez is this morning in holgate, new jersey. Reporter hey, ginger, good morning to you. This is just incredible. I want you to compare this with my height. Take a look right here now. This is a massive dune here. The waves were just as high, and tearing away at your Holiday Weekend. Off the midatlantic coast, posttropical cyclone hermine showing her power. Causing coastal erosion on the jersey shore. Rolling up the eastern seaboard, sending high winds up to 70 Miles Per Hour. Out in the atlantic, a rough ride for passengers on board royal caribbeans anthem of the seas, heading to bermuda. In the restaurant, dishes going all over the place. Reporter a warning for beachgoers with hermine creating some of the strongest rip currents of the summer. Were not expecting huge crowds at the beach. But were probably going to have a lot of guards down by the jetty with the rip currents. Reporter the threat leaving many beaches closed on the unofficial final days of summer. This morning, many residents cleaning up after hermine rocked the coastal south over the weekend. We lost the deck. Reporter in florida, some residents still battling rising waters. Have an ocean on our front porch. Reporter with others forced to evacuate their homes and thousands spending Labor Day Weekend without power. There is a lot of water that still has to move through our county, so were not out of the woods yet. Reporter and back out here live on long beach island, i just want you to take a look at the water, the surf is rough, it is dangerous. Of course youre going to have those rip currents. The beaches are here closed so, if you live near the coastju dont get in the water. Ginger. And thats the warning we want everyone to listen to this morning. Thank you, gio. I think a lot of people are waking up and maybe youre watching this morning and saying where did the storm go. It was so sunny, so beautiful and im waking up again to a mix of sun and clouds. Well, let me explain this to you. As of saturday morning the forecast position on all the computer models that we love was taking it very close to the coast. If that had happened we would have been in huge trouble. Heres what actually happened. The low went east. It just kept moving east so going to turn north now and then it wouldnt. Right about here is where it went wrong. It should have gone north there as far as the computer models were concerned but it wanted to give us a safer, better Holiday Weekend. 200 miles to the east. Thats exactly how it happened. Thank goodness it went wrong. Right. I was wondering that. Thanks for the explanation. We want to move to breaking news overseas. President obama is in china for the g20 summit, speaking this morning about his Vladimir Putin to discuss syria and how to fight isis. The president will be speaking shortly, but abcs bob woodruff is in china with the very latest. Good morning, bob. Reporter president obama spoke for about 40 minutes. That meeting of the two president s lasted much longer than anybody expected, about an hour and a half. President obama said an agreement will take much more negotiation and we havent yet closed the gaps in a way we think it would actually work but my instructions to secretary kerry and mr. Putins instructions to was to keep working on it over the next several days. Because, the faster we can provide some relief to folks on the ground the better off were going to be. Reporter other important discussions in that meeting president putin were about ukraine and cybersecurity. George and paula. Were going to move on now to the race for the white house. Kicking off a home stretch this labor day with both candidates hard at work in the key states of ohio. Mary bruce is on the trail in cleveland with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter hi, george, good morning. Days away the candidates will be making competing pitches to voters here in the key state of ohio as they enter the final fall stretch. This morning, as the candidates start their sprint to the finish, a first for donald trump. . Trump visiting an africanamerican church in detroit on saturday, swaying along and making a rare direct appeal. I fully understand that the Africanamerican Community has suffered from discrimination and that there are many wrongs that must still be made right. Reporter a softer tone from trump after weeks of fiery pitches to almost allwhite crowds. Im asking for the vote of every single africanamerican citizen. Youre living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, what the hell do you have to lose . Reporter but no change in tone when it comes to Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton is the most dishonest candidate for president of the United States since richard nixon. Reporter trumps running mate on the attack after the fbi investigation into clintons emails, telling investigators she relied heavily on her staff to mark and handle classified information and that she did not know the letter c in emails stood for classified. Her running mate coming to her defense. These notes demonstrate clearly why the fbi saw no need for additional criminal proceedings. Reporter meanwhile, clinton has been noticeably quiet on the campaign trail as she makes a final summer dash for cash, celebrities and still largely ignoring the press. Its now been 275 days since her last fullblown press conference. Is this going to change . All the time as hillary is out on the trail, shes talking to the press, hundreds of interviews. Im doing the same. The labor day to election day stretch is going to ramp up even more. Reporter now, still no word on when clinton will hold her next press conference but shes giving reporters new access. Later today it will be on a new plane with her press corps on board. George. All is set for the home stretch. Mary bruce, thanks very much. Im here with matt dowd, political analyst. Labor day used to be considered the start of the president ial campaign. Now, its the beginning of the end. Lets look at where things stand right now. After a rough start in August Donald trump has tightened things up a bit. Yeah, the race has trended back to where it was preconvention when hillary and the democrats had a Great Convention and donald trump made a series of errors. Its gone back to a three or the interesting thing about this race is, somebody could win this with 43 or 44 of the vote which changes the dynamics in states and demography. Yeah, thats because you have two other candidates in there, Green Party Candidate jill stein and lib train candidate gary johnson. Johnson doing fairly well, approaching 10 in some polls but can he make a real difference if he doesnt get into those debates . Get into the debates because he has to get an average of 15 . According to the debate commission. He can still make a difference, because he can allow either candidate to lower their barrier that they need to win, so donald trump can underperform with minorities and still win the presidency. Hillary clinton can underperform with white voters and still win the presidency. And that debate september 26, scheduled for september 26, still the biggest x factor in this race. As you know, george, anything can happen in the next 60 or 62 days but the debates will determine this. Hillary clinton can either put donald trump away or donald trump can get right back in this race, overcome this lid he seems to have at 40 or 41 . That could change the entire dynamic of this. And both candidates need that debate in a way because they both are entering this home stretch with such high negatives. Yeah, they have two huge liabilities that i think the debate is crucial for each of them. Donald trump has to prove that hes president ial and doesnt make the country feel insecure in some of the manner with which he relates to them, and Hillary Clinton as we heard from the piece has to solve this trust problem that she has that continues to weigh her down and doesnt allow her to put donald trump away. So, if you were her would you before the debate . Yes, absolutely. Do a chris christiestyle press conference where you go for an hour and a half, exhaust the press by standing there taking one after another. Then you can clean up things at the debate. Okay, matthew dowd, thanks very much. September 26 is going to be mustsee tv. And hook em, horns. Nay won, double overtime. You had to get that in there. I was conflicted. They were playing notre dame as a catholic hook em horns. Politics and sports good to see youre not one dimensional. Thank you. Now to two amusement ride accidents making headlines this monday morning from chicago to memphis where eight people were taken to the hospital after lap bars opened on the ride before it came to a full stop. Abcs eva pilgrim is here with the very latest. Reporter paula, a terrifying trend, the absolute last thing you want to happen. But almost every week now for the last month some sort of accident involving a ride and the number of people hurt keeps leaving a dozen people, mostly children, recovering. I really thought i was going to die. Reporter this ride at the delta fair in memphis now shut down after this terrifying scene, pure panic as the moonraker ride malfunctions. The safety bar opening up before the ride reached the ground. People left dangling, holding on for their lives, some falling from their seats. My youngest daughter is hurt bad. Reporter shawn owens daughter faith has a broken wrist and neck inj one of half a dozen children rushed to the hospital, this within hours of another fair accident in chicago. The ems plan one for the multiple injuries at the carnival. Reporter six children hitting their heads when a roller coaster came to an abrupt stop. One of the little girls kind of whipped forward and she hit her face on part of the ride. Reporter the total number of scares at Amusement Parks and carnivals now totaling six in just the last month, including a Worlds Largest water slide in kansas, and three hospitalized when something went wrong on a ferris wheel in greenville, tennessee. The majority of the incidents that occur on rides today, whether at an Amusement Park or a carnival happen today are human error. Reporter and that appears be the case in this most recent accident in memphis. The ride operator panicked and hit a button that released the safety bars before the ride was actually in the cradle. Reporter the association representing carnival operators telling abc news injuries are rare and that, of the more than a billion carnival rides americans take each year, only 13,000 people suffered injuries requiring emergency room visits. Weve seen a lot of these recently, its enough to make people pause before they get on. And it just feels like theyve happened in a condensed period of time. Thank you, eva. We move on now to that announcement rocking nascar. Superstar Dale Earnhardt jr. Sitting out the rest of the hes 41 now so his future in the sport may be in doubt. Abcs t. J. Holmes is here with the latest. Good morning, t. J. George, this is not the biggest name in racing, this is a legendary name. Earnhardt. He says he will not race again this year because of an issue were used to hearing associated with football, concussions. Now, we dont know whats going to happen in the future, when hes going to be back in that race car again. Because his doctor says hes just trying to get him to be a human being again. I think reporter Dale Earnhardt jr. , the most popular driver in nascar, says hes not fit to drive. I definitely dont belong in a race car today by any stretch of the imagination. Reporter and wont return to racing this year because of complications from a concussion he suffered in this crash and Dale Earnhardt jr. Reporter at the michigan speedway back in june. Earnhardt says he didnt feel any symptoms until weeks after the crash. Wheel since july 9th as hes continued a slow and difficult recovery. I struggled with my eyes for a while and im starting to see improvements there. My balance is miles better than it was. Reporter this comes on the heels of his announcement that hes donating his brain to concussion research. In response to a Sports Illustrated story about nfl players doing the same, earnhardt tweeted in march, what use is it to you at that point . Im going to donate mine. Earnhardt has suffered several concussions in his career, including two in 2012, the first during a test drive in kansas where he blew a tire and slammed the wall. Then just two months later spinning out of control in a chainreaction crash during the race at the talladega superspeedway. And guys, this is at least his fourth concussion hes had in his career. Hes going to wait and try next year. He said hes aiming for next season, he plans to be back in that car but he says he even has trouble walking down the sidewalk. He said sometimes i need more space on a sidewalk than most if you cant do that you dont need to be going 200 Miles Per Hour in a car. This is an interesting case for him. He said it was weeks after this last concussion before he felt anything. Who knows how long he was out there in that car having issues before he really realized it. This is scary for him, 41 years old. T. J. , thanks very much. Sticking with sports, u. S. Open time. Its a big day today. Both serena and Venus Williams take the court. Theyre on track for a sibling showdown. We all want to see that. Nick watt is tracking all the action this morning. Hi, nick. Good morning.

The only thing possibly standing in her way, maybe some big nerves on the big occasion and maybe her big sister venus. Game face, check. Compression sleeves, check.

Obviously, i want to keep that number going higher and see what can happen. Reporter and if serena lifts the trophy here this week, it will be a recordbreaking 23rd grand slam trophy and a record 7th u. S. Open crown. But shes on a collision course to meet sister venus in the semifinals, the best sister act in sports, 36 years young venus, this weekend, crushing an opponent ten years her junior. That energy when match point rolled up and im like, im right at home. Reporter dominating the courts since the turn of the century, two more wins apiece and that semifinal showdown is on. And we might not see many more. Oh, and serena says those compression sleeves make her think of a superhero. Me too. Super serena. Its got a ring to it. Trailblazers who came before her, billie jean king, but she says that female athletes are still treated differently than men.

Now to new questions about Jonbenet Ramseys death. Nearly 20 years after the 6yearold pageant queen was out in a new documentary. Abcs david wright is here with the story. Good morning, david. Good morning, george. Its hard to believe it was 20 years ago that Jonbenet Ramsey case was Media Obsession but it was never solved. Now its the focus of a twohour documentary debuting tonight on a e. . Reporter she was a 6yearold beauty queen found strangled to death in the basement of her parents upscale home in boulder, colorado, the we lost our child. We were devastated. Reporter a cold case that is still officially open. We have not and will not give up. We remain focused on this investigation and finding justice for jonbenet. Reporter the case file bulging with 1500 pieces of evidence, including 200 dna samples and 20,000 tips and leads. Boulder police interviewed some 1,000 people in 18 states, but are still no closer to catching the killer. This person murdered jonbenet. Reporter this morning, a es new documentary promises new revelations. Suddenly a little light went on and it was just like, wait a minute, it was a stun gun. Reporter testing the theory that an intruder committed the murder. The test revealed that mixed with jonbenets blood was the dna of an unknown male.

Jonbenets parents also came under suspicion and they sat down with Barbara Walters years ago. Mr. Ramsey, did you kill jonbenet . No, i did not. Mrs. Ramsey, did you kill your daughter .

Thats what mattered. Reporter this new a e documentary is the first of several true crime shows that are hoping to shed new light on this cold case, a lot like those o. J. Simpson shows from last year. If jonbenet had survived she would be 26 years old. Incredible. Thank you, david. And that a e documentary, the killing of jonbenet, the truth uncovered, premieres tonight. Paula. Thank you, george. We want to move now to a bizarre twist in a legal battle between exes. A florida woman claims that her former fiance abused her but now, this video right here which shows her apparently hitting herself is raising some serious questions and abcs linzie janis is here with the story. Good morning, linzie. Reporter good morning, paula. She says her millionaire fiance beat her. He says she beat herself, then tried to frame him. He also says she stole millions of dollars in jewelry from him before calling off their wedding. This morning, this disturbing now spiralled into a nasty legal fight between a millionaire businessman and his ex fiance. Mary hunt, seen here, apparently hitting herself in a fit of rage. Attorneys for 45yearold Scott Mitchell releasing selected clips from his Home Security system to refute hunts claims that her former fiance was abusive, giving her a black eye. Theres no evidence Scott Mitchell was ever physically abusive. This was her response to a started hitting herself about the face and body and screaming. Reporter but hunts Attorney Says mitchell was abusive, and that the 29yearolds black eye was from an argument with mitchell a week after this incident. He emotionally abused her, he physically abused her. He was enraged because on that very day she cancelled the wedding plans with a wedding planner. Reporter hunts lawyer of mitchells hot temper. Please stop, my keys are inside. Where are they . In the bedroom. I dont feel safe going inside. He is incapable of controlling his emotions and when he doesnt get what he wants, he will go to any length to get it. Reporter the bad blood between the couple escalated after a breakup that they both claimed initiated. Mitchell now suing hunt, accusing her of stealing 2 million worth of jewelry. From his home safe. Hunt is now facing criminal ch which she vehemently denies. Hunt has been charged with grand theft. Her attorney is meeting with state prosecutors this week and hopes to get that charge dropped. Paula . Thanks. The video of her striking herself is tough to watch. Really strange. Coming up on our big board, the truth about your soap. The fda now banning the sale of some antibacterial hand wash. And the latest on the Colin Kaepernick controversy. Police threatening to boycott games. Our insider will join us in just our insider will join us in just two minutes. Hi mom. Grandma threatening to boycott games. O. Oh games. Ic threatening to boycott games. E threatening to boycott games. Like to have shingles. S what it can be a painful blistering rash. Oh mom. If you had chickenpox the shingles virus is already inside you. One in three people will get shingles in their lifetime. Grandma, want to play . Maybe later sweetie. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today cant see it. Cant taste it. But theres so much more to it. Heres how benefiber . Works. Inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. The prebiotic fiber in benefiber . Nourishes them. And what helps them, helps you. And its time for the big board. Our team of insiders here weigh in on todays top stories, including dr. Jen ashton. Your story is coming up. But we begin with a big announcement from the fda. The agency is banning the sale of many antibacterial soaps saying the industry has failed to prove they are safe and effective. Dermatologist dr. Whitney bowe is here. Whitney, i think this is going to come as a surprise to a lot of people. Soaps no more effective than soap and water so, how did the fda arrive at this decision . Well, george, its the fdas job to weigh the risk versus the benefits. Outweighed the benefits. In this case the risks outweighed the benefits. Now, there are two main Health Concerns when it comes to including these antibacterial ingredients such as triclosan. One being that theyre thought to actually promote the growth of antibioticresistant bacteria otherwise known as superbugs, and the other being that there are some Animal Studies showing so the soap industry, when they failed to actually present compelling evidence showing that these antibacterial soaps were any more effective at spreading germs than your sort of ordinary soap and water, thats when the fda made their official ruling. So, i guess you just use regular soap and water. Dr. Bowe, some products are going to remain on the market that do contain these chemicals. Why is that . Well, paula, it comes back to that risk versus benefit ratio. For example, theres a toothpaste out there, Colgate Total that contains triclosan. In that case the studies clearly show by including that ingredient youre preventing gum disease. So, in that case, the benefits outweigh the risks. But in general, that being said, i think that all of these ingredients are just going to be under much closer scrutiny moving forward. So, i can still find my hand for now, yes. Okay, we want to move now to football. Were talking about the growing controversy around Colin Kaepernicks refusal to stand during the National Anthem overnight. And soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe from the Womens National team, she was kneeling during the anthem in solidarity as the Santa Clara Police union threatens to boycott San Francisco 49ers home games. If the team doesnt take action against the quarterback for criticizing officers. We have legal analyst martin who joins us now. Ive got to ask you, the president of the police union said, quote, the 49ers are allowing this to come out from an employee and its making for a hostile Work Environment for us at the stadium. From a legal standpoint, do they have a valid argument against the 49ers organization . Not really. Feeling disrespected and even insulted is not tantamount to workplace harassment. Look, federal and state law make it very clear you need severe conduct or language based on race, sex, age or origin. Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the National Anthem and even wearing socks that have pigs dressed in Police Uniforms just dont meet that requirement. And i dont see any basis here for the police union failing to comply with its legal obligations to provide security to the team. So i think this argument is not going very far as it relates to the police union. But, areva, its pretty clear that kaepernicks actions have stirred up a lot of anger towards him, towards the 49ers. Lets say the 49ers suspend him, release him, they could then face legal ramifications, correct . Great question, george. Absolutely. If the team were to release kaepernick solely because hes exercising his First Amendment right to not stand for the National Anthem, they would face probably a pretty big retaliation lawsuit. And i think its interesting to note in this case, kaepernicks jersey sales have increased controversy. Yeah, hes number one right now in jersey sales. Okay, areva, thank you very much. Were going to move on now to a story sounding alarms about sperm donations. A man who fathered 36 children has turned himself in to police, admitted he lied to the company about his background. Dr. Jen ashton here for more on that. Jen, he was presented to parents as a healthy person, intelligent person, well educated. Turns out hes a College Dropout with a criminal record, suffering from schizophrenia. How does Something Like this happen . He was presented that way to parents because thats how he presented himself. When youre talking about sperm donation, two separate issues, medical screening and psychosocial screening. The medical screening is straightforward. Communicable diseases are tested, the sperm is quarantined and if its cleared its use. Psychosocial, the fda has regulations. Yes, they do criminal background checks. Yes, they should ask for College Transcripts but the bottom line is people can still lie. When you talk about those children, 36 children, very, very frightening, and you can trace obviously the identity of the sperm donor so it will be revealed to those parents, but we have to remember genetics and Family History is just one part of the puzzle. Its not a complete guarantee that theyll go down the same road. This was an anonymous sperm donor but lets say the parties one another. In that particular situation are the rules different . Some are and some are not. You would like to think if you know the person, a directed sperm donor, then there would be greater honesty, greater transparency. The screening for medical issues still occurs. And then the psychosocial screening, of course psychologists and social workers still evaluate those donors because this is really a big deal. Go ahead. There are a lot of women out there listening to this right now that may not have a significant other in their life but do want to start a family and theyre considering this so of . Ask a ton of questions. You have those rights. And the clinic should be transparent and forthcoming. They should be accredited, they should be licensed and people working there should be board certified. Take your time. This is a massive decision. It is. Areva, theres a legal angle to this as well. Police say that aggeles admitted to falsifying information but hasnt been charged with anything, at least not yet. So, is this a crime . It could be. I think were going to hear and learn more about this as the investigation continues. But making false statements in a situation like this could lead to criminal prosecution, and we shouldnt forget that there are probably going to be some pretty massive civil lawsuits as well because the women that received this sperm have claims that they were not given the sperm screening by this clinic was not done consistent with what they had expectations of, so this is a case we should watch because there are possible criminal and civil liabilities pending. Okay. That Something Like this can happen in 2016. Ladies, we want to say thank you. Dr. Jen ashton, thanks for the discussion. And coming up in just two minutes, jesses got the story of an amazing water rescue. Weve been talking about it this morning. A boat with dozens on board crashing into rocks, taking on water. The Good Samaritans nearby who got there just in time. Nearby w got there just in time. Water. The Good Samaritans nearby who got there just in time. Im phil mickelson, pro golfer. My Psoriatic Arthritis caused joint pain. Just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. My doctor said joint pain from ra. Can be a sign of existing joint damage. That could only get worse. He prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Tell your doctor if youve been someplace back now with that incredible rescue out of southern california. More than a dozen people lucky to be alive thanks to Good Samaritans. Right place, right time. Jesse, boy, what a close call. George, the group was on a charter boat out of san diego that hit rocks off baja california. Fortunately, the crew of a nearby boat heard the calls for help and they arrived within minutes. And their quickthinking help this morning, 26 rescuees have sweet marie to thank for their lives. A fishing expedition of 21 passengers and five crew members suddenly found themselves in trouble when their 63foot boat, the invicta, crashed into rocks at 5 00 in the Morning Saturday and began to take on water near san diego. I realized they were only about a mile and a half away, so i immediately got the radio and i said i would respond to the distress call. Reporter a nearby commercial fishing vessel with John Rodriguez aboard with his wife, son and friend, pinky beaver, heeded the call first. One guy gave us a hug bec he was very thankful and started crying and people were just so thankful we were there. Reporter these Good Samaritans carefully transporting the more than two dozen stranded boaters one by one from their sinking ship before the coast guard soon arrived. The fact that they were relatively close and they were on the scene very quickly made all the difference in the world. Reporter this morning, sweet marie is being hailed as a sweet hero but the Good Samaritans on board said they did nothing special. We were in the right place at the right time for those people. You would just hope that someone would do the same for you if you were in that kind of trouble. Wow, and the incident is still under investigation. One crew member was temporarily detained but nobody was arrested and the passengers and crew members all there wearing life jackets, theyre doing okay and obviously, guys, very glad to be back on land. What a scary episode. I just cant imagine being out on a boat in 5 00 in the morning, still probably dark and all of a sudden you start sinking. So lucky to have help nearby. They said they did the right thing at the right time but a lot of people dont make that right decision. And take that next step. So, kudos to them. Thank you, jesse.

Plus, the headline making waves this labor day about why it is time to stop trading sleep for success, people. Where you should draw the line to finally find a balance and get ahead in work and life. I dont know if thats going to work for us. We will take some notes on that though. Rebecca jarvis has the morning rundown. We begin with breaking news. President obama has just wrapped up his 90minute meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin. They failed to reach a deal to stop the violence in syria but they vowed to keep talking in hopes of working together to exist, thats a tough negotiation. We havent yet closed the gaps in a way where we think it would actually work, but my instructions to secretary kerry and mr. Putins instructions to mr. Lavrov was to keep working at it over the next several days. President obama now heads to laos to push for closer economic ties with southeast asia. President obama was als today about quarterback Colin Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the National Anthem to protest the treatment of minorities. President said kaepernick said hes exercising his constitutional right. I would rather have young people engaged in the argument trying to think through how they can be part of our democratic process than people who are just paying attention at zmraul the president said active citizens al often cause controversy. Beaches up and down the northeast coast are off limits to swimmers today as the deadly storm that used to be a hurricane, hermine, churns off shore. Abcs gio benitez is on the jersey shore right now. Gio, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. Weve been talking a lot about that coastal erosion and you can see it right here. This is that massive dune that was just torn away by these waves. This is to protect the land. Thank goodness this was here because clearly the waves were just as high. I want to take you on the water right now. Royal caribbeans anthem of the seas was on the water as the storm hit. No doubt a rocky, rocky trip to bermuda, but were told no injuries just yet so thats good news. But take a look here. This is where the real danger is right now because youve got this rough surf. Youve got those rip currents that could pull you out to sea. So, if you live near a coastal community, just dont get in the water. Thats the biggest warning right great advice, thank you. Former u. S. Soccer star Lauren Holiday has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and now her husband, jru holiday is putting his career on hold to care for his wife. Holiday is eight months pregnant with their first child and she will undergo brain surgery after their daughters birth. Jrue is taking an indefinite leave, saying his wife comes finally, it wasnt a phantom player on the field. It was just a perfectly timed photo. Check out this picture from a High School Football game near dallas. It looks like the quarterback had a ghost blocker, but thats just the helmet of his real blocker, not casper. Hes number 62. It was sent flying. This one reminded me a little bit as i was looking at it of dave casper, the friendly ghost, ghost of the post. That is an unbelievable photo. Are we sure thats not a 12th man out there . I wish i would have had more ghost blockers when i played. Often. Then you wouldnt be here. Right, right. Exactly. You can bring us pop news. I certainly can. One of my alltime favorites. Were going to start with drake who learned the hard way that you should never ever make tyra banks mad, especially at the cheesecake factory. But luckily it was all fun and games for his 12minute long music video where they get into it over a heated argument at the restaurant. Well, she certainly took full advantage of the dessert. In the face, topping it off with a little vino. They brought drakes song childs play to life. After four minutes of arguing and tyras dramatic exit drake finally starts to sing with the cheesecake all over his face. Do you know how many takes it took . Its a 12minute video so hopefully one. Do we know which kind of cheesecake it was . They have many good ones. Strawberry swirl. A lot of followups here. An investigation into the video. You can keep singing with cheesecake and a 97 cab on your head, thats talent. Thats why they call him champagne poppy. I love drake, sorry.

A big labor day headline, why sacrificing sleep for success could backfire and how you can really make it ahead in the office and in life.

Thats all coming up. Dont go anywhere right here on gma in times square. Girl 1 hey, thats a great color. What is it . Girl 2 i call it free fuchsia. Huh . Yup i picked it up using my kohls cash.

The moments that connect us dont happen overnight. They happen one morning at a time, and one cup at a time. Man i accept im not the deep sea fisherman i was. I accept im not out on the ocean wrestling marlin. I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But i wont go after anything with less than my best. So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, ill do that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Thats what i wanted to know. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I may not be going for the big one, but im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. We want to welcome you back to gma on this labor day. And we have a labor day headline that has a whole lot of people talking right now saying that less work may actually be more. A column in the Washington Post pointing out just how overworked americans truly are and how it could be hurting our success. Rebecca jarvis is back with a closer look. Reporter americans are trading sleep for work. According to the bureau of labor statistics, American Time use survey. A recent wall street journal report touting the benefits of a 4 00 a. M. Wakeup call despite our predisposition against it. In fact, theres an entire t. E. D. Talk devoted to the nightmare of wakefulness at that hour. In the morning has become sort of a meme or shorthand. It means Something Like you are awake at the worst possible hour. Reporter today half of us work more than 40 hours per week even though studies show too little sleep can make you less productive, less healthy, and less happy. And we want to welcome in Rebecca Jarvis right now. Welcome back, rebecca. I dont want to bury the lead here. We know that working longer hours can lead to decreased health but does it lead to success . Here and thats the reality that everybody probably knows. What i dont think people necessarily know is that it doesnt always equal success. There are no guarantees in this. Thats why there are people who are frustrated about this new world where we live in, where the expectation is really around the clock work, but ultimately some people win from that around the clock work and a lot of people dont. A lot of people just work more hours. Youre talking about that expectation, really it is to clock in at sunrise and clock out at sunset, and people seem to even be bragging about this, you do hear more of it. More people bragging i worked 80 hours this week, and you have social media now where people can actually timestamp it. Im up at the crack of dawn because you see my twitter account or my facebook account in the post. I actually think technology has played into this. We are more accessible now than ever before. People have their iphone or their blackberry in their palm at all hours of the day. Our bosses, our managers, know this, and therefore we are called upon to work at many more hours of the day than even ten years ago we were. And this particular article said our productivity decreases after 55 hours. Everyone, listen up. Thats the bosses we want to listen up. Sorry, that was a subtle message to everybody out there. What is the tradeoff for working long hours . I think, well, one of the things is that a lot of Research Shows like youre saying, that productivity declines but it also the more work people do beyond a certain point, beyond that 55hour mark, the more correlation we have to greater stress in our lives, a less healthy lifestyle. Actual physical tradeoff of more work. Now, there are people out there who can probably work more hours. Some people will argue it doesnt have an impact on me, i love my work, its not a job to me. Okay, thats the case for plenty of people, but there are people in workplaces who, once you get past that 40, 50hour mark it becomes detrimental. Last question for you, amazon has been experimenting with a 30hour workweek but those that choose this, are they going on the mommy track, killing their career . What i think is interesting about what amazon is testing is everyone in the group is on it. Its a Pilot Program but from the manager on down, everyone is working 30 hours a week and thats very different than saying the boss works 50 and the rest of the team works 30. So there isnt going to be a double standard. And, yeah, 40 of us arent taking our vacations. Everybody, take your vacations because we need them. Happy labor day. Thats right. Story of a 9 11 hero, the man in the red bandana making the ultimate sacrifice to save so many lives. Its an incredible story, you dont want to miss it. Its coming up. T. Its coming up. . . . baby laughs now that weve added adjustable base, my favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a little bit, and it feels like im just cradled.

This windows pc is a life saver being able to pull up different articles to different parts of the screen is so convenient. I used to be a mac user but this is way better. The 15th anniversary of 9 11 comes sunday and now we remember crowther. Espns tom rinaldi tells his story in the new book the red bandanna. Were going to hear from tom after we take a look back at a incredible man. When Welles Crowther was six his father gave him his first red bandanna. He loved having that red bandanna and always had it with him. Including when he volunteered as a firefighter at 16. After college welles took a job as an equities trader working on the 104th floor of the world trade center. But the good money and great view werent enough. Welles called me one day and said, you know dad, i think i want to change my career. I think i want to be a new york city firefighter. September 11th, 2001, came before welles could switch careers, but on that terrible day welles became a hero. You heard this mans voice say, i found the stairs, follow me. Survivors remember a man wearing a red bandanna who guided so many to safety at his when i heard the news that the tower had come down, i knew in my heart of hearts that welles was gone. It was just a mothers heart knowing. Sorry. Welles was eventually uncovered from the rubble alongside a group of new york city firefighters. To know that welles in a figurative sense took off the equity trader hat and put it on the table, picked up his helmet, to work, for me, that was an incredible, incredible thing to know. For anyone who now knows his story, were now here with espns tom rinaldi, hes telling his story in the new book the red bandanna. We have our audience over there wearing red bandannas in memory of welles as well. Its an incredible story. Bandanna because he wanted to be like his dad. Exactly. Like how many boys, george, he idolized everything his father did. Theyre getting dressed for church one morning and sees his dad wearing a pocket square and asks if he can wear one. His dad goes and gets him one. His dad fears that maybe thats going to be used to blow his nose, so he gives him the red bandanna just in case. Welles carried that essentially the rest of his life. And that became the key to actually finding him. One of the parts of this story, george, is there are so many Great Stories of heroism. You know, you were down there, you covered 9 11. But this one clue unearthed this one story. For welles, several survivors had pointed to this man wearing a red bandanna to shield himself from all the smoke on the 78th floor sky lobby, a scene of terrible, terrible carnage where as many as 200 had been killed. And we cant know for sure how many he saved but we know it was several. What a heartstopping story, he guided several people to safety, makes sure theyre okay and then and i think that right there, george, poses the question at the center of the book. He guides this first group down. Ling young you heard in the setup piece there, theyre on the 61st floor. The only thing he says is im going back up. All of us asked the question at some point, what would we do faced with that decision, a lifechanging, lifeatstake choice. And the choice he made was to go back up, and as a result, more lives were saved. Shows that everything in his life led up to that decisive moment. Thats right. The story unfolds from three parts, pre9 11, 9 11, and the legacy after that day. All of the institutions, his family, community, sports teams, his local firehouse that helped instill the character that ultimately in that moment of truth, the final hour of his life, he called on all of that to make this decision. And as you point out hes one of many heros but he is being he is, and its been a wonderful thing to see the growth of his legacy. I think maybe it came in its most startling fashion when president obama dedicated the opening of the 9 11 Memorial Museum in the footprint of the fallen towers, 2,977 died that day, president obama chose to mention one person by name, one. Welles crowther, the man in the red bandanna. This book, the red bandanna, a great tribute. Tom, thanks a lot for coming in this morning. Thank for having me. Available in stores and online. Right now lets go outside to ginger. I love this, george. These ladies have been the loudest. I said which is cfvhs. Cade field Valley Health system. Obviously. I want to say thank you for all of those that are laboring on labor day, all the first responders, the retail, we got so many people to thank as a lot of folks are doing exactly what were doing but were celebrating this morning. Lets check the forecast though because weve got that hail from today. That area that youll have to be on the lookout for some of the hail and damaging wind along i90 and up into minnesota up to almost duluth. George and paula, get ready. This crowd is hyped. We can tell, big labor day crowd. From poverty to politics, how louis stokes man rose up and inspired so many including good morning. Best wishes going out to the Tempe Police Officer after a serious crash. You see the crash. This happened late last night. The driver of a black car turned in front of the officer who had a green light. We have not yet heard of injuries or charges for the other driver. From there, heading to west phoenix. Folks are waking up to a home invasion. They tell us that officers have been to the home before. The next please telling us the homeowner woke up to a group of men inside his home robbing him. That is where shots were home. Were told she was not injured. As you plan your day, lets check in. Good morning to everyone. Maybe you have a day off. 79 degrees. Beautiful weather outside. Starting to warm up a little bit. Still feels great. By noon, 94. And 100 by 4 00. And a high of 102. Were tracking some rain chances in the sevenday forecast. You can see we have Tropical Storm newton out there. Tuesday, a 10 chance. 20 wednesday. Right no t looking like thursday. 30 . After that, seeing some clearing. A reminder to download the mobile app and track the changes with us. We do have a crashed just off of the freeway. Right at i17. On the west side of the freeway. A shot from the a. D. O. T. Camera will give you a closer look. You can still use that. But greenlee could be an option as you are trying to get around . If im chasing ghosts, put my hand in the flame . That is gavin degraws new hit she sets the city on fire. Hes going to be performing live on this lay day just ahead. I cant wait for his comes out later. Thats coming out friday. Right now an inspiring story of one mans rise from poverty and power. The gentleman from ohio has an autobiography written about louis stokes. He served 15 terms in the house of representatives. He was a giant in congress, a loving father at home and robin sat down with lori stokes, our friend and colleague at wabc here in new york to talk about good to see you, lori. Just tell us the kind of man he was. Humble, gracious, um, warm, funny, aggressive in a way of what was right and what needed to be done, particularly when it came to his constituents and living his life. He was considered a champion of the people, champion of the poor. But he didnt really set out to be a politician, did he . No, no. He did not. He set that started when he was 12 years old. When he was going to a boy scout meeting, he was pulled over by police who asked him where are you going, why are you here, where have you been. He sort of had this dream that he, too, could be a great lawyer, and he would also be able to defend those who had accused of something, but that he knew that that was his destiny. Tell people about your uncle, his brother. And theyre so different. I know, i know. My uncle carl was the first africanamerican mayor of a major u. S. City. He was my fathers baby brother. How does it feel, the president of the United States, barack obama, before his election, pointed to your father and your uncle saying because of them he could become president of the United States. Thats how praise. He said i just have to say, senator obama, i am 83 years old, and never in my lifetime did i think that i would see a qualified africanamerican to be the president of the united you in the decisions that youve made and where you are here, a prominent anchor here in new york city . He always drummed in all of our heads, do what makes you happy. I dont care what you do. Just do what makes you happy. I followed the dream to go into jurnism and went to howard university. He also got a kick out of being able to say that i was no longer lou stokes daughter but that he was lori stokes father. I bet he got a kick out of that. We had a beautiful relationship. What do you want someone picking up the book, lori, what do you want them to get from his story . This is our american history. This is a story of a little black boy who was born in 1925 to a single mom who was a domestic, who would take several trolley cars to leave him and other peoples homes, who had a grandmother who would take care of him, who had a dream to walking from poverty to the halls of congress, to having so many beautiful stories and a family that he loved to the core. He would always end by saying that he was so blessed. Its palpable your love and your pride, and i know it was returned. I know how proud he was of you. Yeah. T thanks so much. Thank you. You can see the pride in loris face. I had the good fortune of working with congressman spokes early in my career and he was a leader with such grace. Lets go outside to ginger. I am loving this crowd today. So from corn fields to skyscrapers, your name . Add alynn. And youre not going back until tomorrow but School Starts tomorrow . Add alynn will be there wednesday. Dont worry about it, teachers. Shes starting out middle school. So many of us getting back and its cool this morning, isnt it . Its not going to be for long. Well talk about that. Still going to see some wind gusts as hermine is far out there in parts of the ocean. It will head slightly northwest, anywhere from fire island to providence. Beach erosion, rip currents are biggest concern but it will get gusty in some places. The heat will start to spread to the east and the northeast going to cook back up. New york city will anybody is sticking around for the end of the week. Its going to be a hot one. And this Weather Report brought to you by dove chocolate. Look its their first anniversary. Yeah. So . Be honest, how is the first year going . Wonderful, honestly. Just pretend hes not here. Just tell us. Hes my best friend. Aw. Wait, do you guys have any advice for them . Stay together, talk, talk, talk. I love this. This is like were having a big therapy session. Jesse, i know you got other really excited right now because im sitting here with Morris Chestnut and regina hall whos going to join us literally walking in as were talking. How are you . So good to see you. Thanks for being here. Theyre teaming up again on the big screen, this time in a psychological thriller called when the bough breaks. They play a seemingly happy but childless couple who hire a young woman as a surrogate and invite her to live with them and that sets their lives on a dangerous path. Take a look. Are you serious . That youre here, at least most of the time. And knowing that youre safe. Now you are doing this incredible thing for us. Its the least we can do. Let us do something nice for you. Okay . Okay. Thank you. Wow. Guys, welcome and thank you so much for being here on a holiday. I have to say, i guarantee there watching that scene and saying to themselves there is no way i would let that young woman come live with me. What did you guys think . You know, she didnt look like that in the interview, let me just be very clear. She looked like a little girl. Shes living in the guest house. Exactly. Not inside the main house. And she trusts her husband. And there were circumstances that led to that invitation because at that point shes explores the emotional roller coaster between infertility and surveillance gasy and some of the legal issues that go along with that. How is that for you as actors to sort of explore those sorts of emotions . It was dpragreat. I have a few friends who are going through it currently and going through it back then and they dont have kids and they have to go through the whole fertility system. Its a very emotional roller coaster. Of course youre a dad. Im a father how did that help you prepare for this role . What helped me was i figured out i had to take myself to a place to where if i didnt have my kids and how much i wanted to have kids at that time. I really felt it. You guys had a chance to work before on comedies or socalled draum adis. How was this to work on a thriller together . We worked in movies before but this is the first time i felt like morris has been mine. In other movies hes on the love films but this is the first time we got to Work Together and i think being able to do it in a different genre, for me it was wonderful. It was. It was incredible working with her because shes an incredible person, incredible actress. We had such an emotional film that we were shooting and just working with regina every day on the set, she has a lot of wit and humor. It was great. You had said you felt this script was one that could have been written for anybody but you were happy they chose an all africanamerican cast. Do you feel that africanamericans are more of an opportunity in hollywood today . I mean, i loved the script and what i loved about it was more that it is a story thats universal. I think all women of all races and all ages deal with the concept of infertility. So the opportunity to play something that was a universal theme was wonderful. I think its like a rubber band. It gets better and then sometimes it doesnt and i think right now its a really when we read the script it it was raceless and thats what i loved about it. It was just characters in the situation and that was what was great about it. Congratulations on all your success. Thank you so much for being here with us on holiday.

A long history of abuse, the students may never recover. Welcome back, everyone. Favorite funnymen and now his humor is heading to the big screen in the animated comedy called storks. Abcs nick watt got to go oneonone and is back to tell us about it. I bet you laughed a lot. I did. He describes this movie as being a place where the rules of physics do not apply, full of heart, off the wall, wacky, funny. These are all words i would use to describe andy samberg himself. Reporter storks, so this story goes no longer deliver babies our new phone im like the top gun. Im aiming to be boss. We can get there through here reporter by mistake he gets back in the baby game. His nemesis pigeon towedy. I feel like a lot of people are going to be doing that voice and driving their kids nuts. You can do pretty much any voice you want, right . Thats an overstatement. Do my voice. Thats not that good. Thats not that good. Now you should do my voice. Now you should do my voice. Thats pretty good. What are you doing with your life. Be on snl. Picture him in a booth voicing this. I built my office entirely out of glass even though birds cant see glass. I do not. Power move. Hes a god. Side show bob. He would do vocal warmups and every now and again he would break out a little taste of sid show bob and everyone in the room would be like are you improvising . Theres a lot of improv and nick stoller whos in the booth with us throwing out ideas. It does have a slightly andy samberg feel to it. Theres a looseness. Reporter recently samberg has been working on a series of mock you mmtryes. Its an im mall gum of everything and everyone in pop i found. Makes a better story. Yeah but i felt like isnt bieber okay now . Reporter back to storks. This is a movie about big brothers wanting Little Brothers and frazzled parents too busy for their off spring. Dont make me the mean mom. Reporter sound familiar on a couple of levels . Moms are fun too. I didnt know that was jennifer aniston. Then weve done our job. Reporter it also raises the delicate subject where do actually come from. We need to tell him. Tell him what . I wonder if this movie will spark some of those conversations. I think it definitely will. Little timmy with his popcorn, daddy. I think thats a good thing. Reporter also a good thing, grammar, aniston, key and peele. Im going to devour this thing. Im going to be the new alpha. Reporter and samberg unleashed. That was funny. You almost died. Now, the only disappointment bring babies, i looked into it.

And were back and were back now. Gavin degraw is out with a new album friday called something worth saving. Boy, youre a busy man right now. Very busy man fortunately. You played at midnight last night in detroit, came to gma. And i love the fact that you started your tour just outside of your hometown. Called bethlehem, new york which is the original site of the original woodstock festival on max yasgurs farm. Andy grammer and i were on tour together and were from upstate new york. I spent a lot of my teenage time on that field. So going back there and playing there and doing a real hometown show was a great way to start the tour and get things kicking off. The song youre about to sing includes a lot of flashbacks to the 80s. Yeah, well, theres a story that we really do lift some of the story of sort of the steve jobs sort of story and a lot of tech stuff. So we bring in computers from the 1980s and stuff and the invention of face time and stuff like that. So we do play on that, and of course we have the hottest girl in the world play the inventor. So it always adds a little bit lets hear the song. Thanks so much. I appreciate the time, george. . Everybody knows shes a perfect ten . . And im hanging on tight til the whole thing ends . .

Have a great day, everybody. Sgr watch harley and the davidsons twont on discovery. Good morning. Time is 8 56. Donald trump and arizona senator jeff flake are supposed their spat is going public. I think that somebody has to push back and say this isnt the republican party. This isnt where we are. This isnt where we should be. If we dont, we consign ourselves to political oblivion. Those comments not sitting well with trump who called him weak and ineffective. You might recall last week flake tweeted an arizona sunset during trumps immigration speak. We do have a new crash on 48th street and mcdowell. Take a look. This involves a minivan with children. Fortunately, the injuries are not very serious but the westbound side of mcdowell is down to one lane. And taking a look at the traffic map. You can see that traffic is just a little bit slow on instead. The freeways are nice and lights. And we have the crash off the 17. Its almost clear but you can see emergency vehicles from the intersection. But it shouldnt slow you down too much. Keeping a close eye on the most accurate forecast. Looking pretty nice. Lets tell you what the Current Conditions are like. 79 at sky harbor. And winds out of the east at 9 Miles Per Hour. So theres a little bit breeze kicking in. Well get to 84 degrees in just a little bit i think in some parts of the valley. 91 by 11 00. And low tripledigits after that. Tune in at 11 00.
