Quite a different tone. He fired up the crowd with those familiar lines and well get into all that this morning and hear from Hillary Clintons running mate tim kaine live. That hurricane warning for florida. The weather set to ruin the Holiday Weekend up and down the east coast as Tropical Storm become the first hurricane to make landfall in florida in more than a decade. The state already facing flooding and ginger here tracking all the latest for us. What a radar picture there, ginger. Exactly. The satellite Tropical Storm hermine escalated quickly. Just talking about it as a tropical depression but now maximum sustained winds of 60 miles plus an hour strengthening and will speed up toward the north and east. Hurricane watch north of tampa. The main threat, of course, heavy rain, five to ten inches. Some places could get 15 inches. The timing tonight overnight tonight into early friday. Then it sticks with us. Through South Carolina up to the east coast, the impacts could be through our Holiday Weekend. The storm surge, the rain and thats why we have our rob marciano in tampa this morning. Good morning, ginger, 200 miles that way is Tropical Storm hermine and in the gulf of mexico and no will make land tonight. How strong will it be . In the past 24 hours western florida especially here in tampa bay have been getting hammered with the outer bands. Tropical storm hermine accelerating towards the florida coast. The outer bands already flooding the Sunshine State making some roadways impassable. About 4 1 2 inches of water inside the house. Reporter over 9 inches falling in pinellas county. Families trying to stop the water from overtaking these apartments in largo. It came through the ceiling. Reporter at least seven from one family narrowly escaping after this tree fell on their home. Theres a tree like in every room of the house. Reporter its all hands on deck at the sandbagging depot. The only solution, got to stop the water. What else can i do . Coastal residents have been evacuated and schools and colleges closed today and tomorrow. The ground is more rain and wind coming and storm surge which western florida certainly susceptible to it here in tampa bay this will be rising, as well. Nearly 4,000 days since a hurricane has made landfall in this state. They are certainly hoping that streak holds. Another area that has had a hurricanefree streak is hawaii but got slammed with Tropical Storm madeline and Neal Karlinsky is there right now. Neal. Reporter rob, good morning. Thats right. The surf here is still rough but feel like theyve dodged a bullet on this one. You can see the waves come in, madeline seems to be passing through as a rough Tropical Storm and not the hurricane they feared but the last 12 hours the rains has been torrential coming down sideways. As a result many roads have been flooded. There have been occasional Power Outages and schools have been shut down and the port closed. But they do feel like they have weathered the worst of it and get a true sense of things over the next several hours when the sun cops up, ginger. Ne course, lester on the way so i wanted to showcase the timing here. Once the big island is now on Tropical Storm warning that is for lester which will come this through the weekend and other islands have to brace for some impact. If not just that high surf and rip currents. A lot are there through the Holiday Weekend. The race for the white house and Donald Trumps immigration twostep fiery speech in arizona last night hours after his more statesman like trip with the mexican president gaining ground on Hillary Clinton in some National Polls and jon karl has the latest in mexico city. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning. If you were expecting donald trump to soften his position on immigration, you were dead wrong. After sounding diplomatic in mexico he went on to present as hard a line on the issue as he ever has. You can call it whatever the hell you want, theyre gone. Reporter no more waffling, donald trump is once again saying everyone who came into this country forced out. Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. There will be no amnesty. Reporter once again he talked about creating a deportation force. He even joked about deporting his opponent. I am going to create a new special Deportation Task force focused on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal Illegal Immigrants in america who have evaded justice, just like Hillary Clinton has evaded justice, okay. Reporter trump made it clear where he stands on one of the central promises of his campaign. Mexico will pay for the wall. Hear me. Reporter it was a far cry from what we saw from trump earlier in the day when he made a surprise trip to mexico city and stood side by side with mexicos nieto. Its been a tremendous honor and i call you a friend, thank you. What about that sticky issue of paying for the wall. And the wall, is it a n nonstarter. We did discuss the wall. We didnt discuss payment of the wall. That will be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting. Reporter here in mexico city trump was measured and downright diplomatic. He even praised mexican immigrants. Spectacular, spectacular hard working people. Reporter but just five hours later, a different donald trump. Zero tolerance for criminal aliens, zero, zero. Reporter after their meeting and after trump left mexico, mexicos president came out and said that he told donald trump directly that mexico will not pay for the wall. But, george, i asked mexicos president about that at their joint press conference. He said nothing and he also didnt disagree with trump when trump standing next that the issue did not come up in their meeting. He is facing a backlash over that. Meanwhile, donald trump back on twitter again overnight and this morning talking about mexico. Also talking about Hillary Clinton and hitting her a bit for her not going to mexico. Reporter yeah, thats right. Hes trying to tie this into his attacks on her health saying she didnt go to louisiana and now she didnt go to mexico. She doesnt have the drive or stamina to make America Great again. The Clinton Campaign is brushing this off saying you dont do away with a years worth of insults by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours. Jon karl, thanks very much. More now on Hillary Clinton and her Campaign Calling Donald Trumps speech in arizona his darkest yet. As clinton bashes trump for his trip to mexico saying it takes more than a photoop to build relationship, her running mate tim kaine is stange by but first Abcs Cecilia Vega is on the campaign trail in columbus, ohio, with all the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Hillary clinton is not holding back overnight tweeting donald trump just failed his first foreign test. Diplomacy isnt as easy as it looks. Hillary clintons response to Donald Trumps big trip to mexico its more than a photoop. It takes consistency and reliability. Reporter clinton unleashing on him in ohio. It certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. That is not how it works. Reporter and going after trump with this video on twitter. Ill use the word anchor baby. This is a country where we speak english. Reporter her supporters pouncing too. Hispanic about how much resentment and fear and hostility hes created in this country over the past year. Reporter her Campaign Chairman saying trump didnt just choke, he got beat in the room and lied about it. Writing, he doesnt have the courage to advocate for his Campaign Promises when in front of a friendly crowd. Clinton back out on the campaign trail raising 12 million in the hamptons at parties filled with superstars like bon jovi and paul mccartney. And now shes about to get an assist from some political powerhouses. President obama will be out campaigning for her at least a dozen times before election day in battleground states and Vice President joe biden will be out there twice a week starting today in ohio. Thanks. Lets hear from her partner, senator tim kaine, senator kaine, thanks for joining us again. You bet. Lets start out with Donald Trumps day. We heard those comments from john podesta, the Campaign Chair for Hillary Clinton but didnt donald trump gain some stature by appearing side by side with the mexican president . You know, george, i dont think so. I think it was kind of a diplomatic embarrassment. But hes been talking for a year about well build a wall and mexico will pay for it and sits down and goes eyeball to eyeball with the president of mexico and what he forgets suddenly to bring it up or hes too afraid to bring it up or he chokes in the meeting, its just kind of an indication that the guy talks out of both sides of his mouth and when given an opportunity to address his the central rationale of his entire campaign he doesnt do it. And thats not the kind of strength you need in somebody who is going to be conducting bilateral discussions with the leaders of any nation. You say hes talking out of both sides of his mouth. Yesterday the Republican Party put out a video talking about Hillary Clintons flipflops on immigration. Lets take a look. Hillary clinton is pandering for political gain. Hypocrisy at its worst. Hillary clinton, you just cant trust her. And over the years she has moved towards more liberal issues like the wall, on undocumented immigrants. You know, george, thats not the way i look at it. There was an Immigration Reform effort done when hillary was a senator in 2006 when george bush was president. She was a strong supporter of comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2006. You remember that came up in the primaries as a key point of difference between her and Bernie Sanders and as ive campaigned all across the country, especially in the Latino Community they understand that hillary has been trying to do comprehensive Immigration Reform for many years. This is not a new thing for her. There is a consistency to her position. And thats why she said, look, in the first 100 days we need to 30 years after the last reform, you know, build a comprehensive package that includes basically support for dreamers and include supporters for employers and a path for hard working people to earn the ability to stray here as citizens over many years and those are the kill pillars of the plan keeping families together, very different from the division and deportation nation strategy of donald trump. Trump appears to be closing the gap in some of these National Polls tightening. In our new poll shows secretary clinton is as unpopular as donald trump. You see her at 59 unfavorable. Hes at 60 unfavorable. How do you explain it and how do you fix it . Well, look, this is going to be a tough race and i didnt have any illusions about it and Hillary Clinton doesnt either. We have felt from the beginning that this would be tough. We going into the convention it was pretty much a dead heat and like what weve seen both since both conventions but its not a big lead and means weaver to make our case every day. Hillary while donald was doing his highprofile talking messages on the border she was at the American Legion in ohio talking about americas the world to that important Veterans Organization and were going to have to make our case about the economy that works for everybody and were stronger as a nation if we build alliances rather than tear up appliances and build walls. Finally on a different subject, Colin Kaepernick who has been having that protest refusing to stand for the National Anthem expected to do it again tonight at a game thats 1230esed to be honoring military veterans. Youre the father of a marine. What is your reaction to Colin Kaepernick . You know, i you got to respect peoples ability to act according to their conscience. Id do it differently. I think if you really thought about issues, and about this country, youd do it differently and when i heard him explain his rationale. Didnt make that much sense to me but you have to respect it so i wouldnt presume to tell him what to do. Senator kaine, thanks for joining us this morning. All right, thanks, george. Now to a major breakthrough in the battle against the brain of toxic plaque buildup could slow the progno s progression and give much needed hope to patients. Dr. Jen ashton joins us. Explain how this does what its said to do. This is a type of immune therapy that goes on a seek and destroy mission to amyloid plaques and tangles that interfere with brain function. Let me show you what i mean. Take a look at this scan. If you look at the top. P. E. T. Scans of patients with alzheimers. The left column is baseline, the right column is one year late ever, the red plaques represent the amyloid. Increasing doses of this medication, you see the red disappears or dramatically goes down. Here are the caveats with the study. Its small. We need much bigger numbers. It was funded by the drugmaker which is pretty common practice and most interestly, there is controversy in neurology, not every expert is convinced that these amyloid plaques are the main culprit in alzheimers but cautious optimism. Yeah, and certainly those images studying how soon could it be available. A couple years and come from a hefty price tag and could cost patients thousands of dollars a year. Thanks. We move on to a new lead in the jogging murder mystery in new york. The nypd released a sketch of this man. Officials believe he could be a witness and could help them find the killer of karina vetrano. We have the latest. Reporter police releasing this sketch of a man they believe may help them find the killer of 30yearold new york jogger karina vetrano. Karina went for a run on this familiar path in howard beach on august 2 234d but never came home. Her father eventually finding her body. We need to find this predator. Reporter police now releasing this sketch of a man spotted in the area by worker the day karina died. Investigators dont think hes the killer. Despite a 300,000 reward, multiple dead ends so far no arrests. Officials hoping the possible witness and dna evidence found at the scene can give them some answers. We also have touched dna from her neck and as you know she was strangled and have it from her fingernails probably the strongest we have from the same person. It is wrong to kill an innocent young woman. This morning karinas family left with pictures and memories has a message for the person who took their loving daughter away. The world is against hip. Im coming for him. Reporter police say the man theyre looking to talk to should have stood out to anyone who saw him in this area that day. He was wearing a dark wool cap on what would have been a warm august day. Amy. We hope they get answers soon. Eva pilgrim, thank you. Samsung delaying shipments amid reports of exploding battery and sending their stock plummeting. Rebecca jarvis has the latest. Good morning, amy. Multiple consumers have complained of explosions of their galaxy note 7 devices. Some are sharing these pictures of their burnt out phones online and samsung said shipments are being delayed due to additional tests and no word on what caused the problems, but some say it could be an issue with using old usb cords to charge the devices. The news has wiped out about 7 billion of samsungs stock value and comes at a time when were about to hear about the new iphone from apple. So bad timing for them. Big hit. Okay, thanks very much.

This morning as millions get ready for travel for the holiday, American Airlines is out with a new basically its saying that travelers may be to blame for problems when youre flying all those travel headaches not the airlines. Well have more on that. Well see how it works out. We begin with Anthony Weiner and more trouble for him. Child services now investigating him. It included a photo showing his young son in the background and Mara Schiavocampo has the latest. Reporter good morning. This, of course, not the first time weiner has been caught texting inappropriate for photos but may be the most serious because it involves his child. Now, just days after his wife announced their separation an official investigation into his parenting. This morning abc news confirmed new york citys administration for Childrens Services is investigating Anthony Weiner and his care for his 4yearold son jared after this photo became public. The lewd image sent to one of weiners alleged sexting partners and also s weiner allegedly even referring to the boy in a text message accompanying the picture writing, someone just climbed into my bed. In another series of texts weiner allegedly describing his son as a, quote, chick magnet. This is the third time weiners sexting has gone public. In 2011 the brash congressman was forced to resign after accide accidentally posting a lewd photo to his twitter account. Im deeply sorry. Reporter he was caught again in 2013 during a new york city mayoral bid. The scandal unfolding in front of a documentary crew filming his comeback campaign. Act like a normal Campaign Candidates wife. Im going to leave, leave a few minutes after i leave before you leave. Dont worry. Someone might think youre married to me. Dont relationshipry. Reporter now weiners wife huma abedin has announced her separation from her husband. Now, a source close to weiner and abedin tells abc news excellent father. As for that investigation, acs does not comment on ongoing investigations in order to protect the privacy of the children involved which, of course, is paramount. Sure is. Mara, thanks very much. Lets talk to sunny hostin here with us right now. I think we see that picture of the little boy. I think its disgusting. Doesnt meet the standard of neglect. I dont think it does yet but certainly shows such a stunning lack of judgment that if cps did not begin an investigation and Something Else happened that was neglectful we would be pointing the fwing at them. I think theyre going to be investigating the home. Theyre going to be investigating his relationship with the child and looking for evidence of child abuse, child porn, maltreatment, neglect and i think that is the right thing to do in this case because arent we all shocked that he would have that kind of judgment to include his child in a sexting picture . This is someone for behavior lost his congressional seat in 2011, lost his mayoral bid and has now lost his marriage from the same behavior. Theres a real problem here. Could he lose his son over this . I think its very, very possible. We dont know what the result of the investigation can be or will be, but the bottom line is, any judge looking at a custody decision is going to consider this kind of behavior. Rightfully so. What is most important in these case, what is most paramount as mara said what is in the best interest of the child. Is it in the best interest of a child to be in a sexting photo with their father . Absolutely not. Thats not even a close call. Criminal charges . I dont think so. I dont think i think thats a stretch but we dont know what the result of the investigation would be. Well be watching. Thanks very much. Now to those two globetrotting women accused of smuggling more than 20 million worth of cocaine aboard a luxury cruise ship posting photos of their twomonth vacation before gio benitez is here with all the details. Good morning. Reporter this was a Massive International Law Enforcement operation. Even the u. S. Department of Homeland Security was tracking this ship. All to catch these women on board. From tahiti to bermuda to peru, the globetrotting bikini glad beauties seemed to be on the vacation of a lifetime at least according to the photos at the posted on instagram with breathtaking backdrop, a tattoo in French Polynesia and a quick jungle selfie but hidden off instagram in the luggage aboard their cruise ship 209 pounds of cocaine worth a staggering 22 million. And now 22yearold Melina Roberge is 28yearold Isabelle Lagace are behind bars in an australian jail charged with importing a commercial quantity of cocaine. This is the biggest seizure of narcotics through boarded the extravagant cruise the sea princess two months ago starting in the uk visiting 11 countries many in south america including colombia and ecuador until its final destination in sydney where Police Arrested the two and a 63yearold man. The seizure of these drugs has disrupted the supply of cocaine to the streets of sydney and beyond. Reporter their parents saying they were in shock. Lagaces father saying she never mentioned a man would be joining them. But Australian Police suggesting they were not as shocked. Somehow figuring out that a massive amount of cocaine was about to run aground. And police havent revealed how they knew the drugs were on board or when they were boarded. The cruise liner telling us it is cooperating with authorities and launched an internal investigation, of course, the two women will remain in jail until they face an australian judge in october. In prison. Wow. What a wild story. Incredible. Gio, thank you. Coming up on our big board that series of bizarre clown sightings. Then google is getting into the carpool business.

Time for our big board. Our team of insiders standing by for more. T. J. Holmes at the table. Well talk to him in a bit. But first lets begin with the story right out of the stephen king novel, another in a series of alleged clown sightings. Two dressed in costumes at an apartments complex playground chased away by a concerned resident. The third reported incident in just ten former fbi agent brad garrett is joining us. And, brad, full disclosure. I am completely and totally creeped out by clowns, always have been and the reports that theyre standing under street lamps and waving and trying to lure people away with money. Have you seen anything like this before . I have seen situations where people try to lure kids at playgrounds, sex offenders attracted to kid, for example, however, keep in mind i have a 6yearold. I watch cartoons with him. There are clowns in a very positive light so there might be an angle for them as far as luring kids. It wouldnt have worked with me, im just saying. There have been sightings like this in other parts and sometimes the residents want to take matters into their own hands but how does the fbi get an ham on this and how seriously do they take it . Very serious. Keep in mind that youre going to track these guys probably through other clowns in the community. That is sort of a niche, small also who sells makeup, wigs and the outfits for clowns . Its got to be small so my guess is, those are two viable leads. Two viable leads and the Clown Community feels targeted. Okay, brad garrett, thanks very much. Sorry to all the good clowns out there. We move on to a move from google that could transform rides to work. A report in the wall street journal says it will introduce Car Pool Service on their waze app and becky worley has more. Heading in the same direction, they pay a much lower fare. What if kinding a car pool was as easy as getting an uber. Thats what this is trying to do. First commuter with a car, they punch their route into waze that helps with mapping and traffic and then car poolers are alerted and can ask to join them. Whats cool, waze even hams sharing the cost of gas, they let riders pay about 50 cents a mile. Pretty good deal. I know Business Model than uber. Still looking at a google versus uber competition here. Amy, i think everybody wants a piece of ubers business and this might snag a few riders but i talked to sources really deep inside waze and say its not what its about. For one the rate is too cheap to incentivizze drivers. 10 for a 20mile ride. Nobody is making a living off it and waze says this is about making commutes easier. Some altruism. Think we despise traffic, anything at all to make it better, i am so in. I know this is just starting. Hard to think its going to work in realtype. The drivers out there on the road detours to pick somebody up. Safety issues. Are they vetted . I think there are a lot of questions still. This is a beta program. Both are excellent questions that will no doubt be answered as they sort of iterate and get this Program Ready to market. Becky, thank you. We know youll be on top. Now to what could be the beginning ofhe longstanding High School Tradition naming that class valedictorian. An indiana School District considering a proposal that we move that title and replacing it with a more inclusive system of student recognition. T. J. Holmes is here. So like this . In no, i dont think. I think people should be we regarded for being incredible. Why does this High School Want to stop this. The everybody gets a trophy mentality. Puts undrew pressure on them and kids are not making decisions based on future and dlej but trying to get the gpa up and theyll vote on the school board next week. If its the case they will do away with valedictorians but before we give them too much of a hard time its a growing trend around the country. Is it really. It is. A lot of schools are getting rid of the valedictorians. Im kind of with amy. I do understand the idea if kids are manipulating their schedules and not challenging themselves in any way kind of defeats the purpose. Not just about the easy cases but proliferation of ap and honor courses and can inflate your gpa. If were in the same seen color, that would have been fun, right . Senior class and i get all as, she does but she ma nanipulatede system and she has a 4. 7, i have a 4. 0. Why is hers better. All these kids are senatomar. Isnt competition healthy, becky, brad . Well. I bet theyre saying i didnt want to hear what they had to say anyway. School last year, 30 valedictorians in california. 1 17 valedictorians in one graduating class because they said forget the system, anybody with a 4. 0 and above youre a valedictorian. 117 4. 0s, good for that that waters down the system. Do we have the mikes up for becky and brad. Hello. Can anyone hear us, america. Celebrating winners makes others want to be winners, im sticking with it. Brad. Absolutely. Its a competition and its healthy and kids dont get enough of it. We are all old school. But were not Running School boards. T. J. , becky, brad, thanks to all of you.

As families get ready to travel for the Holiday Weekend a new American Airlines ad is raising eyebrows saying dont blame us. Its you, the flier who may be responsible. Abcs nick watt joins us with more from los angeles. Good morning. Nick. Its all your fault. Reporter good morning, amy. Well, listen, all of us have tales of woe a and most of us, we blame the airlines. Their the ones who pack us like sardines and sell us soggy tuna sandwiches. If that sounds like you, this might make you mad. Long tsa line, short tempers. Theres no flight. Reporter shrinking legroom, expanding baggage fees. Dont give me this [ bleep ]. Reporter in this brand spanking new ad American Airlines is telling us what makes a good passenger, they walk faster in airports and know their mood contributes to the mood of the flight. They pack like theyre doing a jigsaw. Are they blaming us for the pain we feel when flying . Buck up, cupcake, its you, not us. Comments under the ad on youtube include americans Marketing Team needs to be fired. Its kind of plane, trains, automobiles. Ive had just about of you. Take your seat. Youve me. Reporter American Airlines ranks lowest in the country for on time arrivals but only average and climbing for customer satisfaction. There is a lot of video of passengers gone wild that does kind of back the American Airlines plea for passengers to always ask before they raise or lower the window shade. I mean this guy had to be duct taped to his seat. Still, remember, next time you hear a baby scream, apparently youre just a bad passenger because you dont always bring noisecancelling headphones. American says theyre not trying to tell us how to behave but tart a conversation. Middle seat, my video monitor was broken, i was next to the bathroom, the toilet overflowed. Am i bad passenger . Maybe thats payback for my poor armrest etiquette. Apparently youre supposed to give the person in the middle both armrests. Thats the law, george and amy.

September and october are the most popular months to get married i didnt know that. I didnt know that in according to the brides who want to know what to do with their gowns after the special day becky worley is back and tried out three different cleaners at different price points. Reporter for debra her Wedding Dress nothing short than a cinderella story. Reporter layers of fabric, 15foot train. But with outdoor photos and rocking reception, it got dirty. I knew it would need something special. Reporter she started with the dry cleaner that price 1,000. Janet fraidy says the cost of specialty cleaning catches brides unaware. Theyre totally attached to the emotion of how it looks for that day. Reporter meanwhile, local cleaners can charge as little as 200 for a gown. With so many price points how is a pride to choose . We bought three identical gowns and had janet create similar stains first makeup. If i saw that on my Wedding Dress, id cry. Then red wine. Grass. Looking like our bride slid into second base then chocolate. Oh, it hurts. We took one dress to a highend cleaner, 900. We shipped one dress to an online cleaner, there are a few options, we chose heritage gown, they charged 300 and we took another to a local franchise that charged 250. Once the dresses were cleaned we took them back to janet not telling her which dress went to which cleaner. The chocolate, wine and grass was another story. The dress we sent to the expensive cleaner had a residual stain. That wasnt even a stain we put on there in we didnt have a blue stain. Of our three which came out cleanest. C. No evidence of makeup or any of the other stains. C is the one we sent to the 300 online cleaner. The expensive dress, a little residue. Thats the chain dress, quite a bit of residue and here we have the online 300 cleaning, it looks really good. The National Cleaners Association Says experience matters and they add we advise searching Online Reviews and calling cleaners to ask about their methods, training and experience. The highend cleaner says it reflects environmental friendly cleaning methods and hand wash and press each item. Will she say yes to a clean dress . As for debra she sent her dress to an online cleaner and oh, yes. Looks as good as when i bought it. I am wearing a Wedding Dress for a reason and it has to do with dress preservatiopreservat. We got gloves and a fancy muslin bag and offer preservation at a premium. Sometimes hundreds of dollars. You can buy an acidfree box and acidfree tissue paper online and preserve it yourself. I got these for around 50 which brings me back to the dress. We have a little game. We do. We have an audience here and they are here for a reason. Well play a little game. We want you to try and guess how old the dress is that becky is wearing, ten years old, 20 years old or 75 years old . So you all go stand under the graphic you think it is. That was quick. Oh, this is what you thought. Okay. For the answer. The dress is yes yes. This dress theres a story. This is my Wedding Dress, my grandmother wore this dress in 1939. We have a picture of it. My mother wore it in 1967. I could not even get my forearm into the sleeve so the sleeves came off. I had to take some of the train off to make some plackets to make it bigger but its beautiful. 75 years. This was just hanging on a hanger in the back of my moms closet. No preservation at all. Wow. So no dry cleaning bag, but, you know, just the air can sometimes and the beauty. Its all in one. Speaking of wedding anniversary, can we yep. Oh. Jerry and sherry are having their 50th wedding anniversary congratulations. Congratulations. Do you still have your dress . Yes. Ah. She does ah. The cutest. Congratulations, guys.

Amman do seefried, jessica alba, kerry washington, all hitting up the red carpet sans the red lipstick. From the red carpet to the runway freshes are fresh. Joining me allure Magazine Editor in chief michelle lee. Why is it such a trend . To be honest with you were all in the crazy time of the year where were all returning around trying to get our kids ready for back to school so when were doing that the time for primping tends to go way downhill so its nice to find a retine incredibly fast but if youre like me and really terrified of going fully bare faced well learn how to do the no Makeup Makeup look. Give us tips. Yes, of course, key thing is starting with a Good Foundation so you have to have a nicely well hydrated face. You mean moisturizer. Moisturizer so start with a couple drops of face oil and put that under a moisturizer, extra brownie point s if it has sunscreen and skin care first. Skin care first absolutely because the whole key in this look you want it to have your fresh skin glowing through so a lot of people think let me go to foundation next, i say go to a trialer. What a good primer will do i always wondered when you use your primer in primer at this point so what its going to do, help absorb some of that extra oil and helps to blur out those large pores, so when you do put foundation on you put on less. Okay, but then the foundation. Well, not quite yet. Okay. So what i like to do for this, actually use blush under foundation so what this does, is actually will give you a nice natural flush that looks like you got off a treadmill as opposed to getting on the treadmill and doing that . So after do you that then put on your foundation. Blush first. Were not going to put because we want to go for a natural look so use our foundation as a concealer as you can see with our model here. Under the eye. Under the eyes, normally around the nostrils, anywhere you have a little redness and the key here is that foundation tends to be a little more shearer than concealer so you really wont look like you have a full face of makeup on. It isnt that much work. Its not that much work. Really, really fast. What about that sponge . I heard this is like a magic trick. This is a genius trick. If you want a little more coverage in certain places take a damp makeup sponge, it has to be damp and dab it on the certain places where you want more coverage. So the key with the makeup sponge its going to help with the pigments and take off excess makeup too and have that fresh look. You can use any sponge. The important part its damp. It should be damp. Were big fans of this beauty blender. Ive seen alexand alexandra has the last look. Go for a couple sweeps of lightweight mascara that will open up your eyes, with the lip, enhance that natural lip color so we went with a pink othernude to pinkishbrown mixed with lip balm and final touch doing your brows so we took a really nice tinted brow gel and just kind of sweep that along the brows especially concentrating the color on the arch area where they tend to go dark. You look beautiful. I love this is back to what she had. Just enhanced it. She looks great and shes ready to go. That wasnt too. Work. I like it. And the September Issue of allure is on newsstands now and back out to ginger. Oh, lets do it, sara. Look at this. Birthday corner over here. This guy is 50. This woman is 50.

Now to a movie getting early oscar bus, the light between oceans stars one of hollywoods hottest couples, Michael Fassbender and alicia vikander. I recently sat down with michael to hear all about his powerful new role and what it was like starring alongside his reallife girlfriend. When it comes to leading men, Michael Fassbender is first class. Whether playing geniuses. I was using an algorithm. Or villains. The irishman simply lights up the Silver Screen but now the actor reveals a more passionate side in his latest film the light between oceans, a sweeping period romance based on m. L. Stedmans bestselling novel. The loveliest present i ever had. How would you describe the movie to those thinking about seeing it. Its about good people that have made bad decisions and are sort of dealing with the consequences. In the film he plays tom a soldier traumatized by world war i. It has damaged him pretty badly. So far as he wants to isolate himself from all civilization and gets this job as a lightkeeper. Did you do anything special to get into the role. Not really. I could say that went off and sort of tried to run a lighthouse for awhile, but do i like being alone . I spend a lot of time alone. I guess, you know, the nature of my job means many hours at home by myself. So, yes, well i hate eating alone. I do a lot of that as well, im the weird dude at the table by himself. Early in the morning tom meets and falls madly in love with the lovely lively isabelle played by his reallife girlfriend alicia vikander. Shes such a fierce performer. Shes so brave. Shes not afraid to bring ugly personality traits to the forefront in characters so, yeah, i was just really impressed by her immediately. I know youre private but is it true you and her fell in love on that set. Yeah, we fell in love and sort of have been seeing each other since. Life imitating art. Well, possibly. It happens. Its her mother. As an actor you do not shy away from dark roles. How much . Are you drawn to intense films. It would seem i dont know. Yeah, its i guess i like challenging stories but i think i should start doing some comedy soon. I would like to say you have an amazing smile so, yes, seeing your laughter, i mean i think id buy a movie ticket for that in okay, thanks. What do you want people to think about when they leave the movie. I guess its an opportunity to appreciate how we all try navigate through life and do the best we can. So hopefully people just leave the theater and give each other a hug. See, he has a great smile. Wouldnt you agree. He sure does, amy. We dont see it enough in his flips. The light between oceans opens tomorrow. The poster family welcoming dozens into their home, our big thank you and surprise for them all coming up next. Listerine® kills 99 of bad breath germs.

Abcs juju chang was there for the big moment. John and kelly are our ultimate heroes for doing what parts do best, lavishing kids with love. You see theyve opened their home and their hearts to 50 or so foster kids over the years. Weve had up to 11 children at the time and changed seven diapers at one time. Seven in diapers. Works for everybody. Theyve even adopted princess, loving, braley, cassie and gracie after fostering them along with their three biological children, listen to the results. Gracie, why do you think kids need love. They need love so they feel so when they come to our home we give them as much unconditional love as we can. Reporter with demand high and no more room in their house. There will be two boys per bedroom. They are opening a group home for teenage boy, the most vulnerable and sadly unwanted of foster children. Because when a boy hits the age of 9 or 10 nobody wants him. They all want a baby or a girl. I feel like we have all this extra love. I want children to have the best life they can possibly have. Reporter the degarmos encouraging others to try foster parenting. On any given day in america theres roughly 450,000 children in foster care and theyre not enough homes. You dont have to be rich. You dont have to have a big house. Just have to be able to provide a child a safe home and love. Theyre smiling. They have just look healthy and you can see them transformed before your eyes. It is just amazing.

Well have a big burger competition with our team but chat first. Holiday weekend coming up. I heard vegas is the place to be . We just opened wahlburgers in vegas and its really outside of boston it was the place we most wanted to go to as our next location because if were in vegas we can reach the whole world because everyone from around the world goes to vegas. Its great restaurant place so the competition to have great food is amazing and Labor Day Weekend for it to be up and running is exciting. Also exciting because me and my wife are celebrating our second anniversary this weekend so were going to go to vegas and i get to visit. Youre a spokesperson for las vegas but also when is a weekend not in vegas, i mean its always timing for vegas. Its one of the other reasons we wanted to open in vegas because it gives me and my brothers an excuse to constantly go to vegas and i mean theres no better place to go. Im glad your wife jenny is on board. She comes with me. I dont go alone. I dont go alone. Lets clarify, people. You brought three of the brother can you call them brother burgers. Theyre just signature burgers of the restaurant, we each paul our brother is the chef and designed all the ingredients and recipes and everything, but we had a chance to, you know, give our own input. So mark, for example, he likes thanksgiving in where is marks burger. Its like thanksgiving turk turkey burger, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and all this stuff and its good and paul has the signature burger of the restaurant which is called our burger, the whole family. Government cheese which we grew up on. We were very poor and had nine kids in the house and grew up on free cheese and took the same kind of cheese and put it in the burgers and melts the best, melts like that. I know how that melts. The government cheese just melts and we have my burger. Mine has jalapenos and after vo and you get pauls like the momma bear. kind of cold. Mark is like the daddy bear, hes kind of hot and im just right. Mine is just right. Not biased but we have a competition going on with amy, tom, okay, amy and tom.
